Ill hang around I think. Maybe after my g/f move in with me we will get her a 7thgen. I talked one of my buddies into buying one. He bought a 2003 silver ex auto, but he is not into modding his car though. Yeah I cant wait to see when someone comes out with a turbo. That car will be soooo fast. Mazda over rated the HP. Said it was 247 but now they say 238. Not much difference.

The blue is the best color. You have to see one in person. Pictures do not do this car any justice at all.

Did you buy or lease your RX8 because I am considering picking one up in a few months and I am looking into my best oprions. If leased what are paying and ofcourse I am assuming that is the six speed manual 238 hp version.

Congrats, the RX-8 is by far one of the most awesome cars out there. And you are correct, pictures definently don't do this car justice. It should be mandatory for everyone to go see it in person.

That Tri-Rotor is basically going to rule everything.


Too bad we can't have that engine or even the original Renesis.
