Mazda described the limited production 2001 Miata SE like this:

"The spirit of the classic roadsters lives–in the stirring, exhilarating 2001 Mazda Miata Special Edition, with its exclusive British Racing Green finish. This is what driving fun is all about: Head for your favorite road and wind out the eager and responsive engine, with its variable valve timing for high-rpm power. Accelerate through the gears, using the slick-shifting, short-throw 6-speed gearbox for maximum performance. Search out curves and devour them–the steering translates your thoughts into action, while the double-wishbone suspension keeps the tires planted squarely on the pavement. Just keep in mind that we're building a limited number of this Special Edition. To get one, you'll need reflexes almost as quick as the car's."
