While I haven't dynoed my car, it doesn't make even close to those numbers. My mods are listed and involve mostly suspension, but if I had to guess, maybe 270 rwhp. But remember, it's only ~2800 lbs. (thumb)Micah said:
So did I. But it depends on how you look at it. I bought my FD (it's paid for) about 2.5 generally trouble free years ago, at a price roughly half of what a Z cost. Even with the additional mileage (now 70k) it's still worth within 1k of what I paid for it. There is your "residual value". I also suspect it's cheaper to insure, and in most States, is taxed way less. You got me on the warranty though.Micah said:
BTW, I liked the Z06 too, maybe in a couple of years.
LOL, are you sure? Maybe that's why your in the rotary section...latent repressed rotary envy. (yes)Micah said:

Yep, you got it - and I've also developed a jealousy for the MSP, MP3, Humor, Off-Topic, and Authorized Vendor Sales....
gucking fenius!
The RX-8 is a good little car, just didn't impress me enough. The RX7 definitely impresses me more, and is more likely to turn my head than an RX8.

Jun of 03 build date here, and I have had none of the common problems. I did have a diff replaced at 2800 miles, it was whining like mad. Since then it's been perfect. No flooding, no fried coil packs, no tranny issues, nothing. I love my thirsty pig......
oh...and what is the deal with black? Everyone on here has a black one? hahah Y'all got great taste! (cabpatch)

Wow. Sorry to hear your still having troubles. Is there a "Lemon Law" in Texas? Either way, I think I'd be calling the district sales rep for MAZDA, given all that. Seems like it would be cheaper for them, and obviously far less hassle for you if they just put you in another car.
