Roarracer, I'm not sure what you mean by "2.3 turbo," but the Greddy kit is the only turbo I've really seen on RX8s, and the owners are very disappointed.
I think he means the 2.3 turbo engine found in the MS3, MS6 and CX7

how much do they run now? for the "sport" package? I would say the s2k can handle better, but they might be a lil more expensive

most people I know that have driven both say the rx8 handles better.. IMO the s2000 is way to impractical. no back seats, to small and only comes in convertable??? I love the back seats, the none convertable and I think it just looks better.. It may be a little slower but I personally wouldnt trade.. I guess im just to big for the s2k

I guess, im not big on the convertible either(im saving for hardtop as we speak ) but atleast the car was MADE convertible and not justa variant of a body style like most cars. Could the rx8 handle better because its going slower? just messin!

its still just an s13, no offense. i seriously doubt anything exciting has been done to it since last time i saw sean drive it. maybe coils and a diff.
