But you weren't duped as much as you think. I have a Shinka. Aside from foam-filled suspension bits (a very minor enhancement), the differences were all cosmetic. Just an opportunity for Mazda dealers to jack up the price. No biggy.

Fixed...
I had an 04 GT and compared to the 06 Shinka I replaced it with, the 04 GT felt like an old pickup...
From Car and Driver...
"Mazda engineers prepared the RX-8 Shinka's suspension for an assault on the corners, with tweaks such as a foam urethane-filled front suspension crossmember and specially tuned dampers. Rigidity is improved by reinforcing the upper portion of the A-pillars and the rear shock mounting points. "
maybe it's just me though....

Hopefully you didnt pay more for it. If there's any documentation that states it is a shinka, you have grounds for a lawsuit. Just FYI. If it was all verbal, then you have a silver Rx8 GT lol
