Yep, UK limited run of 700.
The cars were shipped to ProDrive who stripped the suspension and exhaust and wheels. Replacing with their own spec, lowered the car, stiffening it up, modified geometry, reduced unsprung weight and a free-flowing exhaust ( still with Cat ).
The handling is quite a bit better on one of the best handling cars around and enables it to keep up with much more powerful/expesnive cars
At the ProDrive trackday they told us that ProDrive HAD engine upgrades too, but Mazda blocked those. Possibly to avoid the bad-rep the tuned RX-7s gave the Wankel engine !!!
