It's safe to say that Flyin' Miata's V8-powered MX-5 was one of our favorite cars of last year. With 525 hp from its Chevy LS3 V8 and all the goodness of the ND Miata chassis, it's just about the perfect car. Flyin' Miata, bless them, has done one better, though. Say hello to the 575-hp ND Miata in all its straight-piped glory.

This lope-machine gets its power from a Lingenfelter-tuned naturally aspirated LS3 with an aggressive camshaft. It's hooked up to one of Flyin' Miata's active exhausts, but as the video description says "the cammed motor doesn't make enough vacuum to close the butterflies in the system so it's basically straight-piped." Flyin' Miata plans on solving this issue eventually, but not before making some seriously good noises.

It looks like this car is headed to a customer who, presumably, has a great sense of humor. At least, they'll be laughing every time they drive this thing. How could you not, when this cute little roadster is making all that beautiful noise?
