the exhaust note is so deep... its like an aftermarket exhaust... COOL!!! :D
did any1 point out that the driver shifted passed 9000 rpm!!!! at a speed of over 100 on second gear... it must b on km/h... but its nice to have a high rev limit...
wish my FD had the renesis engine... not that im complaining... hehehe...
Tanx for the video... more plzzzzzzz

i think there were beeps as shifting prompts. it seemed like the prompt goes off at 8500rpm and he let it rev up to 9500 and shifted. it's CRAZY! that's even higher revving than s2k, isn't it? it's so AWESOME!!! how come the american magazines don't post videos like this =(
the speedo went up to 139 while redlining, has to be in kph
:D

One thing I noticed is that it looks like the tach is a bit behind the engine. I put a lightened flywheel in my car and now I really notice some tach lag. I know for the Miata, you can change the damping by modifying the circuit board behind the tach, but for folks with stock Miatas, you can't really notice the lag.
I would have figured for a stock RX-8, Mazda wouldn't have overdamped the tach.
What do you guys think? Anyone else notice this?
