Jeremy1210 Posted on Feb 27, 2003 - 7:15 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Rx8's are pretty cool. 4 doors...but only 250 hp (no turbo)...something like 4hp Less than the 7(with TT) . But it still looks sweet, Its like 30+ grand I think..not sure if its worth the money... The infinity G35 and the 350z have the same engine if I read correctly since nissan owns infinity

you are correct, the rx7 had 260 with a sequential twin turbo, which leads me to ask the question, why can't they make me a rx8 with twin turbo. I'd love to have that car with a twin turbo, maybe I should go to the mazda dealer in may and claim "I'm not leaving until I get sequential twin turbo"
and yeah, nissan owns infinity, the g35 is on the same chassis, the only differences are minor styling, back seats in the G, and the G has 7 less horsepower(280)

Well, the RX8 isn't even the direct successor of the RX7... but, if it sells adequately, supposedly Mazda will apparently go forward with the next iteration of the RX7.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Eh, the RX-8 isnt anything too mind blowing, if you ask me. I absolutely love the 350Z though.....god, its soooo friggin sexy.... . Not to mention that Nissan finally got things right- Lots of good looks teamed up with lots of power to back it up.

[ghostdog]

why I love the RX8... its rotary, and it looks hot...

have you ever heard a rotary at redline ???

besides, I saw the prototype at the NYC auto show and it is absolutely gorgeous in person. it drew bigger crowds than some of the exotics.

[Mr7AFE]

to me it looks like an S2000 on steroids.

its nice but i wouldnt trade my celica for it.

the ole honduh look alike thing... you know.

Sure the RX-8 is a 4 door, but the rear doors are suicide doors. So this just makes me want it even more.

[FallenHero]

The RX-8 has no turbos because they want the new engine to last longer than 40k miles. : )

[Neipas09]

Sure the dealerships want the engine to last longer than 40k miles, but do you?
I would risk having my engine blowin up if i could get a RX-8 with Twin Turbos.

[FallenHero]

Just get the JDM ecu that will redline up to 11000RPM's.

[Neipas09]

Damn japan and all their l33t shiit that they get!
I'm so movin to japan so i can own all this US domestic crap.

[FallenHero]

Hey, are yall turned on by that pic of the rx-8?........

Oh these boards are so much fun when noone replys...

[hiflytsi]

Ok, some of you might know that Greddy just released a twin turbo set-up for the 350Z at the SEMA show just after a couple of months of being released. Maybe they will go down the same route for the RX-8.

[Neipas09]

I got my fingers crossed!

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Damn, twin turbo 350z.....*drooling.....*
Ok, heres a good question- which would everyone rather have, a Supra TT, or a 350z Twin Turbo??? IMO, i would rather have the Z....hehehe
