Calfskin Neutral Newbie July 2, 2007 Share July 2, 2007 Quote IMO Rx-8 is classified together with the likes of Sillycar, sorry i mean Celica, and Tuscani nice to look, not good to eat. Oooo....but I'd love to see a "fast car" take on a Celica SS2 Sports M, or a Celicia GT4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbonetics 2nd Gear July 2, 2007 Share July 2, 2007 Quote The 8 cannot be turboed well. Their compression are too high and their rotors weaker to reduce weight. I've seen many blow their 8s trying to turbo them. Nothing is impossible given enough time and money, but its not a simple bolt-on job. The 8s are 8s. They are not the 7s. They were meant to be a milder 4 door 4 seat version in the RX family, so they shouldn't be compared side to side. Just my 2 cents worth. though RX-8 has got 4 doors,but i think it is classified under coupe. the rear doors are for aesthetic in my opinion. The rear doors, no matter how useless, are however still there. The doors together with the rear seats still add weight. The RX-8s were designed for a different market. They were meant to be an economical youthful ride that still holds the RX badge. They should not be compared with the 7s, which were alot more purposefully built. The 7s however were not for the majority of the market. Rotaries become very temperamental when turbocharged. They are very unforgiving when not maintained right. Therefore their "reliability" as a turbo car were seen as inferior to other piston turbo cars. Maybe one day Mazda will revive the 7s again with a new model, but till then the 8s are not their replacement. thank you,but i had never compare the 7s to the 8s.as i had mentioned turbo and NA are different class. yes,i do hope Mazda will revive the 7s again.

Turbonetics 2nd Gear July 2, 2007 Share July 2, 2007 Quote No...we do not...it is just that we choose form and other factors over power...if we want power...for the price of 8...most 8 bros can also buy rexs or evos...the 8 is not the best car out there...has its own set of problems as well..but we love it for what it is...for me...it is the "sports car" for the family...(I have kids)... the 8 looks nicer than WRX. it has the speed and the looks.

Porker Turbocharged July 2, 2007 Share July 2, 2007 The F20C is better. I will seriously order a grand prix white S2000 with red interior as a second car if I strike TOTO Nothing like an engine that revs over 8000rpm. Hate the way the hood operates though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
