Oh, the other exciting thing I just noticed: "coming summer 2003". My local Mazda delears have all been saying it would be a late entry 2004 model (meaning march of '04). We may get it sooner than anticipated.

 

how hard do you think it would be for mazda to fit a 3 rotor in it, and you think it could get past emissions ? That would be one sweet ride.

 

what i heard was that they were making a special more power, 3 rotor version of the renesis engine...I dunno if its just rumor or if its true.....but it would be sweet if they do make it

considering what they said on the site

the new engine is very small....and its total height, is the same as the transmission height, so i think they should have enough room for another rotor...if thats true

 

AutoWeek just did a review search on RX-8 on their site and the article will come up. They say that we will be getting a 250hp 6speed, and a 210hp auto. The other article was for the euro models. I am just hoping that some 7 specialist will pick up the 8 and give us a complete exhaust system, intake and reprogrammed chip. I really want more than 250hp, with out FI.
