Drove to Mazda technical center today 1/23 and saw two
RX-8s parked in the parking lot with Distributor plates.
These are most likely cars brought down from Laguna Seca.
Will try to return next week and take some digitals.

No, I went there also and no cars. Technical center is on
Red Hill near McArthur by Orange County Airport.

Colors were red and black, and both have my fingerprints all over them.

It would be great if you could get pictures of them. I've been wanting to see some better pictures of the RX-8 in black!

I'm almost 100% positive that those RX-8's will not be left in the open parking lot on the weekend. They will probably be locked inside or in one of the engineer's driveway! Heck they get mad at the employees taking picture of the cars, but that was before Laguana Seca and the auto shows. You also won't find them at the Corporate location yet, but you will see plenty of Miata's and Mazda6's!!
