Actually the oil seals and coolant seals are what take the longest time to seal.

Since the RX8 is so slow, and since it only has a 1.3 litre..80 cubic engine, I will suggest a upgrade to 2.0 litres 120 cubic inches, and with current output of 250 with 1.3 litre, then its right to have 375 with 120 cubic inches of raw rotary N/A power. With the added weight of the third rotor, torque will go up greatly..Ahh 3 rotor you can dream...lol

Your a funny guy..

The Cosmo is way to heavy to ever be considered the same slice as the RX8..However the 8 with 3 irons would pull nicely.

Yes, but its a luxury coupe. it has a curb weight of around 3800, and that is 1000 lbs more than the RX8

I think the rx8 is a very nice car but abit overpriced for what your recieving. For over 30grand there are alot of better options available unless you are a die hard rotary fan and theres nothing wrong with that. Its a very popular car the past couple weeks I've been seeing them daily.
