Win a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata — The Only Factory-Turbo Miata Ever Built

What you're looking at

This is the one Miata the enthusiast crowd actually argues about: the 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5, the only factory-turbocharged Miata Mazda ever sold. Under the hood is the 1.8L BP four with a small factory turbo and a front-mount intercooler, good for 178 hp and 166 lb-ft — modest on paper, but in a sub-2,500-lb roadster it transforms the car from momentum-toy to genuinely quick. The Mazdaspeed wasn't just a turbo bolted onto a base car: it came with a close-ratio six-speed, a torque-sensing limited-slip diff, stiffer sport springs and Bilstein dampers from the factory. This example wears the period-correct Velocity Red Mica paint, a Mazdaspeed aero kit and bronze Rota five-spokes.

Why it matters & the fine print

Mazda only built the Mazdaspeed MX-5 for 2004 and 2005, and the seller pegs this as one of roughly 4,000 U.S. cars from '04. That scarcity is why values have climbed while ordinary NBs stayed cheap — genuine Mazdaspeeds now trade around the mid-teens for a good driver, with exceptional low-mile cars pushing past $40,000. The catch the market watches for: clones. A base NB with an aftermarket turbo and Mazdaspeed badges is not the same car, so the VIN matters. This giveaway runs on Tummala Motors Daily, administered by American Sweepstakes. Paid entries start at $15 (one entry) up to $150 (13 entries); the pool is capped at 2,500 spots and closes at the cap or 11:59:59 p.m. EST July 12, 2026, whichever comes first, drawing on or about July 20. There's a free mail-in route — a 3x5 card to the Placentia, CA address. Two things to verify: the official rules list the ARV at just $10,000 (well under what a real Mazdaspeed is worth) and describe it generically as a '2004 Mazda Miata' — worth a direct question to the sponsor about whether this is a documented Mazdaspeed or a tribute build. A separate $1,000 cash is included; the winner is responsible for taxes and registration.
