After the US specs have been downgraded , i cant help but wonder what the real kw and nm figures are for the OZ rx8

Having difficulty believing the mess mazda has created with this car, i am going to dyno my car as soon as i put enough km on it.

I originally ordered the car with 184KW AND 216NM NOW THEY TELL ME ITS 177KW AND 211NM WHAT ARE THE REAL FIGURES ?????
THE MISTERY DEEPPENS.

 

Wheels Magazine managed a 0-100km/hr dash in 6.4sec so it must be pretty close to rated output as quoted by Mazda.

Strange that RACV only managed 8.1sec for the same 0-100km/hr run.

was the RX8 originally quoted as 184kw in USA? (this is the same power as japan right?) i think 177 should be right, cause of the fuel quality compared to japan, 100ROH vs 98ROH

 

MOTOR magazine also tested the rx8 they came up with 6.99 for the 100km and totally different figures for other times .
RACQ properly didnt do a high rpm of 7000 rpm clutch drop thats required to get decent figures .

 

Some of the Mazda Oz doco still refers to it as 184kw too, my dealer invoice says 184kw...
