The Catfish: A True Mazda Race Car

Mazda 2 catfish

The Catfish compromises of a swoopy fiberglass body boldted onto a stiff space frame and  the complete drivetrain and suspension from an NA or NB Miata. This resulting “baby exotic” weighs over 600lbs less than the Miata NB donor car and, with power figures of 260 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque, is over twice as fast, reaching 60 MPH from zero in just over four seconds.  Essentially like driving a very well-engineered rollerskate, the Catfish gulps down swaths of road in a blur, but still has that essential Miata feel.

Mazda Trivia: Did you Know?

Mazda 2 worlds favorite convertible

The Mazda MX-5 is considered to be the world’s favorite convertible; in fact, three years ago, the Mazda MX-5 Miata was named the most fun entry-level convertible anyone can drive by the New England Motor Press Association NEMPA. NEMPA President, Keith Griffin, said: “Mazda continues to stay true to its winning formula of fun-to-drive cars with its Miata.” There are more Mazda Miata race cars on the track every weekend, than any other car. In fact, meet Mazda Maniac, Loren Ziglin, from Texas – this man first started racing after driving his 1991 Miata on the road for ten years. He turned his summertime runabout into a Spec Miata and joined a racing club. Every year his club presents “The Looooong Race,” two 100-mile races on a weekend. “My bulletproof Miata and I have become one. We’ve built a history together and continue to share many wonderful afternoons racing,” Ziglin said. If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
