Just went for a Dyno open day today
Like me and alot of Stock RX8 owners wonder how many KW or HP the RX8 has at the wheels
my 8 produced 125.4 kw at the wheels - (168.29 Hp) at the wheels
i think that was decent for zero mods (standard air filter, etc) on a MT 6 speed

Looks about right . Why didn't they go to 9000 ? You would probably have got a little more as peak is around 8300 - 8400 .

Thats true...they stopped around the 8k and a bit (playing it safe i guess)

Looks like the stock 8 pushed to 9k rpm should be around 130kw to 135kw
