Local dealer let me abuse the hell out of a RX-8 tonight.



We went on the parkway, it was nice, but it DOES feel like

its missing about 50 horsepower, really did drive like a 175hp car

in my opinion, so either the weight of the car is wayyyyy off, or the

HP is way off.



But it was nice to drive, quite smooth, just needs more power.

 

this is what boost is for



ps. i saw a nearly stock (cat-back w/110k miles) kill an RX-8 on rt110

 

no ******* way the RX8 is pushing 250hp, no wayyyyyy



I trashed it on the Wantagh parkway and everytime I looked down at the speedo I wasnt going fast at all.



It didnt feel fast, it felt like my old GXL.

 

it might be true about that 5k rpm break in thingy they were saying

 

hmmm....maybe I will go see if the dealer will let me take one home. I put almost 300miles when they gave me the MS protege!



Where is Digisan on his tach? He needs to see if power kicks in at 5000miles!

 

******* bullshit about that 5k crap.



dont you think they would have a HUGE *** notice about it? Like some big thing tied around the shifter or some ****

 

Joe- They let you take the Mazdaspeed protege home? damn.. lucky ****.

 

mazda does wacky ******* things

 

like lie





all the car magazines would report it as well if the

there was limited performance to be expected

 

call mazda. i have no idea. maybe all the rx8's are broken.... if its not broken give me one and i can break it
