Why does everyone say they are so slow? They are faster than most of your cars, are they not?

lmao...they are slower then most of our cars.

that lag you felt was explained by mazda as "Once properly broken in to 6000 miles, the power will come"

mazda rated them 250hp...then 240...then 230...and i hear they only dyno 170 to the wheels, the ass end looks like a S2000, so i might as well go get the faster of the two...an s2000...

oh yea, 14.6 from the factory, just had to mention that. but i guess coming from a previous EF swapped owner, its fast?





oh almost forgot the icing on the cake...they are slow, and mazda knows it, kinda like their 155hp claims in the miata...why do you think they are offering to buy back the RX8's?
