RX-8 USDM has a lot of restrictions on the ecm because the engine pollutes too much and is a noisy engine, the car is amazingly fun to drive because for its stabillity thanks for the DSC (dynamic stabillity control on high power only) and the 50/50 weight balance but is not as fast as the people was specting when they saw it on X Men movie (remember?) even i was excited about it, but when i put the pedal to the metal i went desillusionated, i went thoughtful while i was driving it because i have a Civic making 12.3" in the 1/4 mille, but i decide to turn off the DCS and it was fun to do burn-out and drifting, then i notice that the car is for cruising, very good acceleration but just cruising with it with the sun roof wide open,by the way i work for Ford, sorry i mean Mazda, it is the same S@!*....
