Up for sale folks is this unique Supercharged V-8 Miata. While V8 Miatas are known as Monster Miatas, this one is a “Super Monster Miata” due to the Kenny Bell Supercharger. (This is also known as a “Mega Monster Miata”) This car also has been run at the Bonneville Salt Flats. After reaching max allowable speed for the short track at Bonneville, it was at one time the fastest Miata in the world. See Article here: https://www.miata.net/motm/2006/avanti.html

When you strap into the 6-point harness (Center hub type so you can use only the lap and shoulder belt if you want, and click-in the other belts for more ‘spirited driving’ as needed). You know you’re being buckled into something special. A small car with a lot of power. yet all the functional amenities such as pop-up headlights, power windows, power steering, and cruise control. The pillar gauges with Boost and fuel/air ratio gauges tell you that you’re in for a treat! It’s fuel injected, so start-ups and idles are smooth with a nice exhaust rumble! Putting the power down will quickly make you a speck within the greater spectacle!!
