Unfortunately there are not a lot, if any, Mazda engines that produce the type of power we are "dreaming of" we are sort of limited. On the other hand, let's look at the Mazda/Ford partnership.
Take the new engine from the Mustang SVT Cobra. 390hp/390ft-lb
in a car that only weighs in at 3665 lbs., take that and throw it into a car that only weighs 2716 lbs and you have the power you would need. Throw in a Supercharger (bigger) or a twin turbo charger if that is more your style and you have a land rocket.
Now comes the hard part. Fabricating a trannie to handle the power, converting the MP5 or MP3 to RWD and keep tires on the car instead of gooie, smoking, things that once resembled tires.
There is a dream

The 6 speed wll do, I believe its a borg warner unit or you can use a tremec tranny. both will handle that much power and then some. Boy, I sure do miss my 5.0 
300+ ft. lbs. of torque at your service!

I am thinking something along the lines of an FE3T. 
If anyone else knows what this is, do you agree????

Actually the new cobra engine is supercharged with a water cooled intercooler. it is the same motor from the SVT Lighting. ....and as for the FE3 idea we have pondered that before and yes it will make 500+ hp on stock internals but getting it to fit in our cars woudl be a pain. custom mounts for the motor and tranny, custom axles, stand alone, custom piping, cutting welding but hey if thats your game go for it.OurP5 said:
