I got an email from mazda today. Looks pretty cool. I think I read in autoweek it will weight 2900-3000lbs... blaaaa... EVO VIII all the way.

They stole the side airvents DIRECTLY from the Z33. We all know where the digital readout and 9K rpm come from.

 

Wow you only got it today? Interesting.. i've had it for 3 weeks now BTW Did you read that RX8 is gonna be in the new X2 Movie? It's gonna be "Cyclops" (sp?) new car.

 

Gonna be a sweet ride.....like a 4 door hardtop s2000!

 

The rpm cluster shows a "10".

 

what sux is that the rx8 is supposed to have 10k rpm and a 1.3L with 250 horses which will put it over our 9k rpm and 2.0-240 horsepower engine!

 

Oh, come on. COME ON! Please tell me you're kidding. If not, then the S2000 stole its readout from every 80's Chrysler Lebaron and Buick Skylark in the 80's.
My car has a 7000 RPM redline. Does that mean it copied every other car with a 7000 RPM redline?

 

Relax Grimace it was a joke. I'm sure it's going to be a very sweet ride, I just hope it's more reliable then the last Rotary.

 

The last rotary only down side was that it have a low error-tolerance for tuning mistake(when modders mod' wrong) , therefore susceptible to failure, if you do leave the car stock however, it's very reliable from what I'd heard

 

Sorry LA-Z, guess my skin is a little thin after all the "RX-8 rips off S2000" posts.
