They were originally rated at 250 HP, not 260, and were found to be overrated, so the horsepower claim is now 238 HP.

 

actually the had a recall on ALL of them for the over-rated hp #'s (some buy-back/$back/free oil changes options)... this is the 2nd time for mazda on this kind of recall...

 

The RX8 sucks because of the rotary engine.
1. engine recalled for not producing enough HP
2. has absolutely no torque
3. feels slow until 5K RPMs
4. The biggest thing I have to question with the rotary engine is long term durability. My cousin had a RX-7 and it was a mechanical nightmare, as are all RX-7

 

[QUOTE=Capn Pete]401 east, where??

My daily route to work is 401 & Winston Churchill to 427 south & Dundas between 7:30am-8am. I got involved with this RX8 close to 401 & Hurontario. What about you Pete?
