The rx8 look awesome in the movie, and sounded good too. It was a real quick appearance though. I wish they would of showed more. A chase seen would have been nice.

Hmm aren't rotaries well known for having a HIGHER whine noise than normal?



That sounded like a dubbed in v-8/10....I wouldn't doubt it. They've done it with other cars in other movies...*ahem F&F*...

ok what they said in aust. WHEELS mag. that

its color - aggresive mutant blue

and wing and grille is - custom X shape



two questions about the grille: will it be mass prodused for civil rx8's(sell like hotcakes)

in the future?

and if it is sold, will a veri. for the rx7 be made?

i know

but im a X-nut and a fan-fic wrighter (were they own a 8 and a 7 with the same livery)



i know that my newer 7 will be that color (as soon as i sell the new one, long way off)

[COLOR=green]That was no '8'!

the latest issue of "Mazda Fuel" magazine (for the dealers) has a behind the scenes look at the X-Men RX-8 - they could get a running model '8', so they BUILT one! OUT OF A '7'!

It's true, the interiors are a non running prototype, and the moving scenes are an RX-7 conversion!

'7's still rule!

( I seriously doubt that was the actual engine sound - come on, we all could have recognised the '7's wail....)

I don't know where you heard that....but Mazda has been promotign the hell out of the car and the movie. Why wouldn't they give them a working model. Their is no way in hell that was a 7. And the engine did sounds like I rotary. V8's don't sound like that
