Message:	I found this article at autospeed.com and thought you might be interested in reading it: 'Eunos 800 Miller cycle' - Testing the prestige supercharged Mazda. I push my foot flat to the floor and the trans kicks back to second. The car slingshots forward, supercharger whining faintly and the push in the back from the leather seats surprisingly strong. A shift at 5500 and the surge continues forward. The painted white line flashes by as the roadside greenery starts to become a vague blur. Apart from that faint but distinctive blower sound, only the soft sounds of air rushing by at 160 km/h disturbs the forward progress. At exactly 180 km/h - 6000 rpm - the trans slurs into fourth and only then does the acceleration start to taper away. It's an impressive performance, not so much for the outright speed but the way in which it is achieved. You can read the article at: http://www.autospeed.com/A_108679/cms/article.html
