rx-8 vs. MS3

[altspace]

That's just it. For a N/A rotary motor at 1.3L I think it delivers plenty of power. I believe it was in 1986 when the last N/A Rotary was introduced for the RX-7. That had 146HP at 6500 rpm and 138 lb.-ft. at 3500rpm. In 87' they added a single turbo and power was boosted to 182HP 6500 rpm and 183 lb-ft. at 3500. From 92' - 95' the sequential twin-turbo was added making 255HP at 6500 rpm and 217 lb.-ft. at 5000.

Nice write up Ken!

Well I think Mazda will finally asnwer the call for a more powerful rotary in the form of the Renesis 2:

I like the rx8 for the looks and syle but i think i would have to go with the
MS3 i raced an rx8 when i had my boosted pt cruizer I smoked the 8 like it was standing still I loved that car but i was a little heavy. After beating the rex i was a lil dissapoint in a car that could be run to 9k and get beat by a pt but non the less i love the way that car looks and the 9k redline is the most impressive but for looks the rex for power and sleek,sleeper like styling its the MS3.....(dance)
