Has anyone heard the exhaust note of the RX-8?... From idle and then the transgression to redline? Or are they're any sound files? Thanks, appreciate it.

Dwon toward the bottom there are a couple of Laguna Seca videos.

Thanks, appreciate it... Damn, y'all reply fast. :)

Aim to please...:D

There are some better Laguna Seca runs from Best Motoring. Search the forum and you should find a place to download them. One is called "Time Attack" that is real good from inside the car.

i drove it around for a little while and although didnt get to 9K redline, got to around 7K... i liked the sound cuz it was not loud, but still made a sweet sound... i can compare it to the 330Ci... similiar i think...

Does sound good, but I think the speed is in Km, not mph since it clearly looks like a shift from 2nd to 3rd at over 100, and 173 is a bit more that even Mazda says it will do!:p

The ones I have heard, have sounded like a well muffled 2nd gen RX-7 (86-91) the exhaust is definatley rotary, however is much more "civilized" however you do still get that familiar ziiing at high RPMs.,

:D
