Would be awesome if you could get all the MAZDASPEED junk (suspension bits, and supercharger and such) added on to a regular RX-8. Talk about a sleeper. :P

Sleeper? What the hell? I would never call a stock 8 a "sleeper". The damn thing screams "PULL ME OVER!" And if that doesn't do it, the high pitched whine from the supercharger will definately signal those donutchasers...

Ok, so maybe it's not a sleeper, but the Mazdaspeed junk is a little too ricey for my liking. *puts on flame suit* :P

An 8 being a sleeper... There is no way in hell that an 8 will be a sleeper...

I mean come on if you have an 8 you know it isnt slow.

So how would the SC 8 sound with that belt winding back and forth at 7k rpm? I bet it wouldnt be a silent sound :P

Anyways I long for more info on when a SC or TC will be released... Atleast one that I can depend on.

Need more information. I love the hood scoop and would like to see how they made it functional. The superchargers I have seen have the air inlet much closer to the front of the vehicle.

No, this was a side project of I believe four in house designers of Mazda they did it in thier own tome without permission of Mazda Corp, to show what the MazdaSpeed should have been according to them, this is the only one ever made.

ive actually emailed the design house in SoCal that helped with that design about possibly getting it made or getting molds etc. they have never replied with more than an auto reply.
