Did they really take a pic while driving 75 MPH? I guess it is possible.

Also, at 75 MPH, you're only at 3750 RPM (Maybe a bit more). Based on the power curves we've seen previously, you are right in sweet spot for the engine. That will lead to good highspeed cruising.

I count a total of five rotor stickers on the side of that pace car....does that mean Mazda will offer a "pace car" version of the RX-8 with a 5-rotor engine?

:D
