Man just took my first real look at the new 2004 mazda rx8 online it looks awesome. What have you guys heard if anything about that car and the rotary engine, seems like the 6 speed may be pretty fast. it may be in my furture...

 

its a fugly car in person.....thats just me

 

the z is still faster and better looking. especially in the front end. the front end of an rx8 looks like bugs bunny.

 

Just out of curiosity, what does this have to do with Maxima's?

 

Bugs Bunny?

 

No sir, I don't like it. Blah blah it has a rotary engine - who cares? It isn't that fast really. The four doors make the car look waaay too long between the wheels. The proportions just look out of whack to me.

Gimme the latest generation RX-7 any day over this hunk of crap.

 

 

not off topic if one blows buys you i just had some questions about it

 

I think it's featured briefly in the new "X-Men" movie...

 

Don't think these will be doing any major blowing-by. Look at the torque numbers and the hp peaks WAYYYY up the rev band. By the time this thing gets 'wound out', other cars will have just moved right along.

 

man the new rx8s are BADDDD ... but i would still take an impreza sti or a lancer evo over it anyday

 

drive an 03 maxima and u won't think that's so bada$$!

 

Rx-8 is nice in its own special way... 1.3L engine creating 250 NA-HP!!
but the torque really sucks only around 150.. and good luck finding a worthy mechanic willing to work on a rotary engine, for a good price .

The same price range.. I would go with the EVO (13.0 qtr/mile)

 

i think RX-8 look hell lot better in person....that car is really hot
