I saw a Silver RX8 driving down Pasadena Ave. Today, Might have been the same one that you guys sold. It sure was nice in person, Although I only saw the back of it as it drove away

yeah there was a silver one out on saturday night. ok car. but like the s2000 it might be peppy, but i still bet it has to rev to get any power. i know they included an actual fuel cut or lowered the rev limiter on this new model. what is the curb weight?

id like to see a powerband on a dyno graph. 159tq might be decent (dohc 240sx's came with that stock) and if its around the same weight, i can tell you it will be okay with the tq. peppy, but not fast. hopefully that hp kicks in below 5k. a TT would be sweet.

I saw a silve few days ago. I don't think it's fast, but it must handles very good. that's all about the Mazda RX series. anyways I don't like the design.

curb weight is 3000lbs
dan you are correct..to get into the power band you have to keep the rev's high. Like 8-9k rmp's. It redlines at 9000rpms.

Saw one on 66th street, not bad.

Comes with the riced out tail lights from the factory, eh?

It NEEDS to be turbocharged. Not enough power and too much weight.
