ya hopefully this little embarassment with the 8 will be motivation enough to know that they can't bullshit us into submission, the rx7 has to put out, or don't make the thing at all

Agreed. I saw my first RX-8 yesterday. It was the silver color. One of the first things that popped into my head was the HP fiasco.



Mazda truely needs to build a three rotor Renesis based on the 20B like they did with the 13B. Make it NA to save weight and it'll just weigh a little over the 13B (whatever it is for the extra parts which isn't all that much to be honest). Mazda needs to stop jerking us around.

I'm with the 3 rotor idea, but I'd feel so lost with boost.. it's gotta be turbocharged. And what they're probably end up doing is just making the Renesis rotors a little bigger and try to mess around with the intake a little more and call it that. But if they turbocharge it I think they'll be getting close to 320hp.

how about a supercharged 3 rotor?? It wouldn't restrict the exhaust area, which on the 8 seems to be very cramped, and with such a short block there's room for one to fit up top. Maybe introduce a difference oil injection system, that uses a seperate 2 stroke oil reseravior.



Hell why don't they let us design the damn thing.

That's because it has no door handle.
