Track-Prepped and Daily Driven: Kento's Supercharged NB Miata. August 26, 2016. Story By. Cory Mader. The first time I saw Kento's 1999 NB Miata was in 2014, tearing around Streets of Willow Springs.

NB is a better Miata. Everything about the NB from the purchase price to the mods will be cheaper. It's also lighter/smaller. Could be advantageous. NC has more power out of the box.

Miatas are entry level sports cars with great bones; proof that cheap doesn't have to mean bad. However, they just can't compare to higher market cars; all that research and devolvement money does actually count for something.

The recipe was simple: Grab a loaded NB -chassis Miata and then add a turbo kit, six-speed transmission, revised chassis tuning, and $827 to the MSRP. Bake at the factory for two model years, then cease cooking after only 5428 units. That's a pittance compared to production numbers for other cars, as Mazda proved when it built its millionth.
