:iagree: and reliability goes down the drain when people slap on huge single turbos without a tune. My FD dynoed 480rwhp with a tune at 20lbs of boost on a hks t51 single turbo.
Car had over 100k miles when I sold it.

Not to mention it was the most exotic looking of all affordable sports cars back then. All that car needs are design & metal quality updates, it doesnt even need a full redesign and it's 21 years old in design. IMHO It's the most timeless affordable sports car in recent history.

and the mpg was horrific... i averaged a whopping 14.2 mpg over the 4 years i owned my rx8... that's fine if you're sitting on 500 hp but ridiculous for just over 200 hp

Mazda Puts RX Sports Car on Hold Will Focus on Mainstream Models

I guess add another 10 or so years before they start this project again.

Well that was quick. Just as well anyway. Like all Mazda's itll need another 50 to 70HP to put it where it should have been from the beginning.

3rd genRx7 turbo vs Rx8 = No comparison. I woulda never bought an Rx8.

Anyway, Mazda sold us out AGAIN!
