GarageScout Take

This 2006 MX-5 is heavily modified with a V8 engine swap and automatic transmission, departing significantly from original specification.

Strengths

  • Engine swap uses an overhauled GM 5.3-liter V8 with supporting performance parts.
  • Rebuilt 4L60E automatic transmission paired with upgrade components.
  • Incorporates Camaro-sourced rear axle and V8 Roadsters subframes for strength.
  • Includes a digital dash and upgraded leather interior.
  • Fresh replacement black soft top installed.

Watch For

  • Automatic transmission alters the driving character from standard MX-5.
  • Significant powertrain and suspension modifications remove factory originality.
  • Modifications may affect handling and reliability differently than the stock setup.
