Thanks For All The Information

Just bought myself a 2006 RX8 GT with 15000 km on it. Did alot of reading and just took it for its first 9000 rpm walk today. What can I say ... fantastic. Definitely was a little anxious climbing my way up there but I do believe the car loves me for it. Thanks again for the info and I'm sure there is tons I will read in the future.

Yeah kindly post some of the pics of your new ride! RX-8 does it great in higher RPM's but when the car is not on the right speed even you are putting the hammer down the car would not run as fast as you want.

How the heck does someone find a 2006 with only 15K km on it?
Was this somebody's weekend only car?

Congrats, take good care of it and have fun.

Original owner has multiple Mazdas all bought from our local Mazda dealer. Garage/winter stored and always serviced at the dealership. I just got lucky I guess. This car is one fine handling piece of equipment...I just love it.

winter storage does keep the mileage down a ton. I put roughly 5k km's on my car over the summer months...

Doesn't look like shinka to me, the rims are slightly different on shinkas and hard to tell in the pic but I dont think yours are.

plus. I dont recall there being any VR shinkas but i could be wrong.
