In Australia they have an MX-5 (Miata) SP. Same motor, just a slightly lower compression and a low psi turbo. It is good for about 20% extra grunt over the NA version.
Dunno about the bent eight though. Miata's are always sold on the fact that their handling is excellent. Changing the weight distribution that much in a small car has got to something to the handling characteristics.

My 2 cents worth.
