What they're cooking stinks like rice.

Yes, basically everything you said is true...

And yes, what MazdaSpeed is making looks interesting.

too bad the actual power is less.. like 220hp now or something

[gizzmoe]

Is also a shame that even if the horsepower may be in the 220 or 240 range the torque is still under 150. And thats just kinda sad.

The RX-8 is nice because it will probably have alot of potential. My uncle owns MJM Turbos on the east coast www.mjmturbos.com and he says u can fit a garret gt35 with all of the things you need for it and have about 350 to 450 horsepower. So I think the RX-8 is kind of worth it. I am thinking of buying one myself on with the Subaru WRX STi and the Volkswagen Golf GTI R32. I think you should get one!

gettin my car next years.. either
new: evo, rx-8, sti
used: rx-7 (too much maintainence), supra

[genXracer]

Yeah that supra would be nice especially twin turbo.I just dont know about the reliability of Mitsubishi.I have heard that the clutchs are going out every 500 miles.That isn't good at all.Even though they will do it for free, that shouldn't happen on a new car.But like i said the RX-8 has alot of potential and i heard they are going to try to make a 1100 horsepower drag car.They already have alot of parts for how new it is, but i am lookin for a car at around January or maybe late December.
