NEW engine design,I heard ?Mazdaspeed? already is experimenting with a Turbo version?
With a new engine design,They should of by now have came out with a boosted version.. but keep in mind.. Rotarys are emssion monsters,and the new design was based mostley to stay away from the bad emission problems the old ones had..

ROFLMAO!!11 tell that to all them Honda Civic kids

Seriuosly.. 25k on a car to do 10k in mods is not bad, not my cup of tea.. but theres guys spending 20k in mods on a 8k car.
Speed cost.. how fast do you want to go?

I personally dont like the RX8 much,its not inline of a sports car for me..
the 20B should of hit the US,but Mazda market for the US went to shit.They stopped shipping RX7s to the US after the 95 models,but sold them in Japan till 2002.

There could of been alot of bad cars Mazda could of put out,if they would of thought right.. but keep in mind,most car manufactors are not pushing cars "to be the fastest stock"Alot of our cars here are tuned down.From thier sister counter parts..
