Ill believe that price when I see one sitting on a dealers lot.
I dont care what that web site says, the web site and the early press releases used to say that the Mazda 6 was going to be $22000 for one with a V-6 fully loaded, now the V-6 fully loaded is almost $25000.
And for $26,000 you can get a 280hp Nissan 350Z.

I'd like to see dyno results of the rx8 and 350z, wonder what the power bands are like on the two.
That will be an excellent battle - production models of the Z vs. the RX8 (on the track). Already the RX8 has a huge utility advantage.

i hear its 250 at the flywheel... due to all the emissions stuff... the japanase version will be 280. much like how the Integra type R is rated at 210 in japan and only 198 in north america.
regarding the exhaust system stuff... i wouldn't worry about it too much... i'm sure racing beat will come up with something very very ingenous to help all of us out

I guess no one has to worry about the exhaust until they actually buy an RX-8..

I was just making the point that some people have reasons to know certain facts about a prospective new car, instead of "not worrying about it until they buy it". Some people would prefer to know if a particular car has an engine before they buy it. Some would like to know what type of engine it has. I was asking about the exhaust system to gather information on the difficulty of adding forced induction to the renesis. I specifically stated my reason at the top of the thread for wanting the info, and hoping someone here knew anything about it. Hence the smartass comment. I don't know the guy, but I'd rather give him the benefit of the doubt and call him a smartass rather than a dumbass.
