Nice post and write-up.. except, he missed the boat on this one a bit:

It's near perfection now, and will come even closer when turbocharging is added within two years to boost torque well beyond the present 240 lb-ft.

WoW!! That's a lot of torque I didn't feel... :)

It's either a Freudian Slip or simply wishful thinking. ;)

Immediate competition:
Audi TT, Chevrolet Corvette, Infiniti G35 Coupe, Nissan 350Z

Can't be 240Nm. In Nm it is 216. Maybe he was thinking of the RX-7. What was its torque?

217 lbs/ft, however that translates into nm.

The RX-8 is stunning" Globe and Mail Megawheels [incl.URL]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fair, comprehensive road test review c/w 2 ext. and 1 int. colour photos (VR) by auto journalist Jeremy Cato in Thursday's (08/19/04) Megawheels section. Here's the link..checked it out and it works .. incl. his appraisal of the Renesis. Some ( a lot) of discussion on the Canada site about the writer's apparent over-reliance on the Mazda Media Kit , but still, as they (who?) say, there's no such thing as bad press :) Well worth a look .
