Mazda RX-8 2003-2012

still performance lacker, give me a 350Z or G35 Coupe please

Just because it doesn't have much power doesn't mean it's slow. It setted exactly the same time as a BMW M3 on the Top Gear track.

Must be based on the auto.. the standard car is rated at 238bhp with a manual I think.

I think the numbers are 238 for manual and 197 for the auto.

With a name like Nemesis, kind of a sheep in wolf's clothing, isn't it? A turbo version would have been better named NEMESIS.

They're two different models (at least here). One £2,000 more than the other. Interestingly, because of the way the rotary engine works, the 238BHP car actually has less torque than the 197BHP version...

Wait until the ricers get hold of it.

Ordered and picking it up on the 7th Jan
Having driven V8,V6,I6,I4,V4,flat-4, then it was either a V10 or a rotary next !!
( and A110 coming in April, so this'll be up for sale in July/Aug if anyone's interested )

When it first came out, i didn't really like the RX8, but the car has been growing on me. When I've accepted that its a different beast than the RX7, I think I let go of some expectations and learned to like the qualities it does have.

They called it a four-door coupe, and I wouldn't really call it that, maybe two-and-two-half-door :P

congrats.. i'll be finally getting my '81 RX-7 around the Apr-Jul time frame.

There is nothing better than revving that thing up to 9k.

Congratulations on both. Especially with the Alpine...

Ta. Once I've upgrade the A110 to a 1600 or 1800 ( ) engine then the RX-8 will be on the market.
It's an "opprtunity" not to miss to keep me smiling for a while
Going for the Titanium Grey PZ and the A110 will be rebuilt in Alpine Blue - what else

Keeping on-topic .......
