Here is a picture of the prototype 2005 Rx-7.

Here are 2 videos of the Rx-7 versus the Rx-8 on a track. Unfortunately the videos are streamed and has no sound

Rx-7 vs Rx-8 (Behind the Rx-8)
Rx-7 vs Rx-8 (Inside the Rx-8)

Pictures of the Rx-8 X-Men

Oh I love this angle too.....Dang...I want this car

Way out of budget...Perhaps when they redesign the FD, I'll have enough saved ) =

This is why I love rotary engines...Look at the size of the engine!!

Hey look, the girl matches the car! I wonder if she comes with it [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

Someone asked the specs of the car. Well here are the specs for the Stock Rx-8:
250 HP @ 8500 RPM (N/A)
159 Torque @ 5500 RPM
9000 RPM Redline

If anyone knows rotary, you'll know how fast you'll get to 9000 RPM ( =
