In the Market for an RX8
Hi there,
Im new to the RX8 forum and purposely joined to have your guys help with buying my RX8. Story is mom is getting a MX9 so im going to get a deal hopefully on a RX8 when she buys hers.
(Year 04-05 models)
Questions are:
What is the car like stock? How fast can it go?
Is the exhaust system good? Or is replacing it with a better set worth it?
Does adding a turbo make you cry with joy?
Does adding a new CPU chip offer alot of performance upgrade?
Does adding a air intake system like a Cold Air Intake add alot of Ummfff?
Would really appreciate your help and suggestions :D

2. Don't waste your money unless you just want to **** off the neighbors with a fart can and 2hp gain.
3. If you have 7k to spare, YES. However, the car is plenty fast stock.
4 .Are you talking about Ebay chips? If you are, you're stupid.
5. Does it ever?
If speed and torque is what you're looking for, this isn't the car for you. Let alone the gas cost.
btw, search is your friend.

top speed = 5th gear. Not enough "ummfff" in 6th to get any higher speed
