Did you hear/read how in September Mazda may very well have a recall on practically all 2004-06 Rx8's to replace the engine? Pathetic. 
S2k>Rx8. Sorry. One of two Honda's I really like. (NSX/S2K)
Very different cars though, kinda apples to oranges...
Link didn't work for me...

Yah, but didn't Honda pull the plug on the S2000?
Yep. It was the only new car that took premium fuel and sucked on gas. But god damn, that is one hell of a sexy car.
Sorry, S2k over the RX-8. I love the RX-8, but Honda did a great job!

Bah! An overpriced Miata. They realized their mistake and pulled the plug. There is absolutely nothing innovative about the S2k. It was simply an effort to cash in on the popularity of the roadster, which Mazda started back in 1990!
Okay, so it looks pretty. So does the hot chick with two kids by two different fathers and a drug habit. You're still better off not dating her.

Dude, it revved to 9k, 6 speed, amazing handling. Outhandled and outpowers the rx-8. Plus the mod potential seems to be really positive from what I have read.
But yeah, yer right about the hot chick.

The car obviously doesn't like being run to 9k as many people have attested, it also has inherent understeer problems.
