Congrats. It'll certainly have more straight line speed than an 8. Great choice.

does the mazdaspeed3 have bigger exhaust tips than the rx8? (they look like mid 90s honda civic tips)

lolol, im so glad i went with the turbo xs or i'd feel emasculated right now.

Have you looked at the Audi A4 2.0T, I just picked an 06 up off lease for 22k with less then 30k miles fully loaded (manual, nav, leather, HIDs, etc). I am completely surprised by that engine (was skeptical until I test drove one) so that is an option that fills all your needs plus it is a nice car. Also, you can chip that engine to over 250hp. Anyway, my $.02

I don't like the speedometer, lots of wasted space there. other then that, grats again on the car.

oops missed the fact you got a car already lol, grats on the purchase. Test drove one and loved it, but figure the Audi would be better for winter here in CO

Cool car. Glad they just put on the dealer license plate instead of those infernal stick-ons. DIE DEALER STICK-ONS DIE.

Yea I dont like the gage set up at all needs to be more like the 8s and cant stand the front plate thing since NC dont require them(In WA). Other then that im trying to stay below 3k to help break in the motor some what since it had low miles.
