Build your perfect RX8
Pretend anyways 
What would your version of the perfect RX8 be? From color, to hp, to interior options, lets hear it!
Mine would be:
Color: Titanium grey (duh)
Engine: 280hp v8 (j/k, 280 hp n/a rotary)
Tranny: 6spd DSG style tranny (F1 tranny, VW's DSG is the best)
Interior would be leather, climate control (no stupid *****), auto up/down windows, heated seats with adjustable power levels, and a navi that is integrated with the radio controls complete with on board computer.
Exterior would have a mazdaspeed kit and a titanium version of RB's exhaust.
Man that would be a sick rx8. I know I know, 280hp, why not go higher, well i'm thinking relatively realistic. Of course, you dont have to.

I don't know that VW's DSG is the best. I'm not sure what you're using to qualify that, best at what?
If I had to build an 8.
Color: White
Engine: 380hp NA 3 rotor
Tranny: 6 speed manual
Interior: Alacantara, CF, plastic, no rear seats, roll cage, power nothing, no a/c.
Exterior: stock body, 17 inch wheels, ceramic brakes, titanium exhaust

Well from what i've read, VW's dual clutch system is the best as far as most driveable and sporty at the same time. BMW's SMGIII is suppose to be pretty amazing as well. I drove a 355 with ferrari's F1 tranny last week and loved it, except it wasn't very civilized if you were just joy riding.

Since we are dreaming...
Engine: 1L NA 3-Rotor making about 315WHP with 300 ft/tq
Tranny/Gearing: 6spd (to keep the revs at 2-2.5K @ 75MPH) 20/30mpg
Weight: Down to 2900lbs
Color: Inferno RED (GM or FORD have it)
Handling: Better all around without making a ride like a Z
Extra's: Bigger sunroof, a little more padding in the seats, auto locking doors, one push down passenger side window, aftermarket radio friendly setup, adjustable pedals, teloscoping stearing wheel, a little more aggressive exterior, a little tougher interior plastics)
That would leave me....loving life even more...lol

Hell I'm pretty happy with what I've got now. Would like better MPG's,more torque would be nice. I don't think I'd use any more HP that what it's already got, since it's just a daily driver car for me at the moment. Hmmmm, T-tops are and interesting idea though.
In general if I wanted something with more HP and torque I probably wouldn't have bought the 8 in the first place. I'm getting older so I guess my priorities have changed a little.

ya actually that's true, maybe more torque.
But i want an engine that would compete with other cars in the same price range.
I think it's a little more powerful then the S2000, but the S2000 is so light it can take corners like it's on rails

I guess I've been pretty lucky so far. Not one single creak or rattle. On occasion the sunroof will rattle when it's open but usually only going over rough surfaces.
Now your talkin'
