#1 of 3616 Mazda RX8 Specs by revhappy1 Nov 18, 2001 (11:29 am)
I am trying to decide whether to wait for the new rx8 or buy a car now. I hear the RX8 will have around 250 hp, what kind of 0-60 stats do you think this will yield? My guess the best would be arounf 5.5.    What about fuel economy, from what I saw the last of the rx7s got about 21 mpg (17/25) and Mazda is saying they will significantly improve on this. What do you think this car will get?   How was the rear window vision in the old rx7s?   How have the gear shifts been in mazdas?

I forgot to ask before about the RX8 expected cost. I'm thinking about 30K, is this reasonable?   How has been the reliability of the rx7 line?
#3 of 3616 another add-on by flyingfish176 Nov 19, 2001 (12:22 am)
And I'd like to know if those awesome open-mesh design seats seen in the EVOLV concept will be sold on the production model?
#4 of 3616 check out this site, by nasdaqrob Nov 19, 2001 (8:31 am)
should answer a few questions and also has a bunch of nice pics.  http://www.supercars.net/cars/2002$Mazda$RX-8c.html When i first heard about the RX8 coming out, i was thrilled. I new it would be a winner, with all the recent hype over japanese rockets. What amazes me most is how they squeeze so much power out of a normally asperate, low displacement engine- honda s200 watch out!! The suicide doors are badazz, the funky interior is awesome, and 17 inch brakes are insane. If i had 30K right now and was a college student, guess what i'd be buying...

#6 of 3616 it's all in the rotary by cyranno99 Nov 19, 2001 (4:30 pm)
I love the rotary engine since I got an experience of it in a RX-7.... I would guess that the mpg probably be 2mpg higher for both city and highway. That would be significant enough for me to trade in my car!

#10 of 3616 RX-8 faces tough competition by kroliph Nov 25, 2001 (11:55 am)
I'm looking forward to the new RX-8. But the market is going to be tough when it comes out. There will be allot of vehicles to choose from including: 350Z, G35, WRX STi, Evo VII just to name a few. If Mazda can keep the weight and price down, they might have a chance. Mazda proved they could make a superior handling car in the MP-3. If they can work that magic again, I will certainly consider the RX-8. I like the idea of a light, fantastic handling car that can seat 4 real size people! The question is can Mazda do it without pricing themselves out of the market.
