I brought this up to my local dealer tonight when I went

to check the car out, he had a horrific look about him, no one claimed to have heard a word about it yet, if they were bullshitting me about not hearing about it they were good actors.

there was no fa. the older ones have a different vin style. the rx3 i think is an s124a-xxxxxx, the 79-80 rx7's are sa22c-xxxxxx. the 81+ rx7's are fb fc etc. and the rx8 is the fe

Yep Mazdu had a "big" or shall I say small announcement to make....the rx8 doesn't make the 255hp they were claiming. Like I said before, time for something other than a 13b, they are simply maxed out.
