(yes)

Sign me up for one. We're looking at a 250-270 HP MX-5 here folks...

not likely... its supposed to be a severely de-tuned version of the ms3 version... which already has boost limited in lower gears...

for the price of a new one, I bet its gonna be cheaper to buy a used NA or NB and throw an FM/BEGI kit at it... and get more fun out of it. (tho I think installing the go-fast bits are fun, so maybe i'm biased)

I don't see it getting too de-tuned it'll have to compete with the SKY redline and Solstice GXP.

As far as looks go, all the miata needs is a good aero kit.

Yup just a few modifications to the outside and that car is hawt. I like those wheels.

Yeah I heard the detune is simply to make the car more reliable as space is limited for the intercooler and radiator.

Oh I'm sure that can be worked around

headlights, taillights, front end design, gimped suspension (though the Mazdaspeed version will fix). I bought an NB MSM when I test drove an NC. The ride was too soft and I couldn't stand the oh-so-5-years-ago-Altezza taillights. The front end styling is pretty bland.
