In this thrilling episode from the carwow channel, we witness a battle of the Mazda MX5s like no other. Matt Watson, the fearless host, lines up his own modified Mark I NB against a standard Mark II NB and a modified Mark III NC. The tension is palpable as these pocket rockets prepare to unleash their power on the quarter-mile drag strip.
First up is the standard Mark II NB, a humble little roadster with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine generating a modest 146 horsepower. It may not be the fastest, but it's the benchmark for what's to come. Next, we have Matt's own creation, a Mark I NB that's been supercharged to deliver over 190 horsepower. With upgraded clutch, suspension, and brakes, this beast is ready to take on any challenger. And finally, we have the Mark III NC, also equipped with a supercharger from the renowned BBR. This mean machine boasts an impressive 248 horsepower.
With the introductions out of the way, it's time for the showdown. The engines rev, the tires screech, and they're off! In a blistering display of power, the modified Mark I NB takes the lead, leaving its competitors in the dust. Clocking in at an impressive 13.9 seconds, it proves that sometimes, modifications make all the difference. The modified Mark II NB follows closely behind with a time of 14.8 seconds, while the standard Mark II NB struggles to keep up, crossing the finish line in 17 seconds.
But the excitement doesn't end there. The hosts decide to put these roadsters to the test with rolling races from different speeds. The modified Mark I NB continues to dominate, leaving its rivals in its wake. Matt's creation showcases its power and agility, leaving no doubt that superchargers are the way to go for those seeking speed and thrills.
In the end, it's clear that modifications can transform these already impressive MX5s into true performance machines. Matt contemplates selling his beloved Mark I NB but ultimately decides to keep it, a testament to the joy and excitement these roadsters bring. This epic battle of the MX5s is a testament to the enduring popularity and performance of these iconic cars.
