i'm retarded, the other post was supposed to say "RX-8" not "RX-7"



so, motor trend says it will be supercharged while road & track says it will either be supercharged or hydraulicly turbocharged...



if they use forced induction, i'd buy one for sure.

maybe they will put the 5 speed in there, the jdm 210hp 5 speed cars use the fd tranny.

Most likely mazda will upgrad the transmission. Remember, they want the cars to SUCCEED.

they upgraded the drivetrain in the FC when they added the turbo, i'm sure they would do the same 15+ years later...
