Hi everybody. I'm all crazy about Mazda and offcourse the new RX-8 is one of my favorites

Now I'm looking for everything that I need to know about the RX-8...like what there is in the equipment (like the radio, electric things and stuff), weight, sizes and all

It's for my Mazdasite http://all.at/mazda (it's Dutch...)...so..thanks for your reply's!

Welcome to the forum, Matt! It's going to start getting busy around here very soon. :D

 

I hope so :D

 

Check the April 2002 issue of Road and Track. That's about all anyone knows. Also, www.rotarynews.com

 

MattFast,

Since you are doing a Dutch website I take it you come from the land for two names for everything. Which is it; the Netherlands or Holland? While we are on the subject is it Guilders or Florens? Some day I gotta go to Assen for the Moto GP.

 

Thanks for the link Rich

babylou, we call it in Dutch "Nederland". Neder means something like 'low'. Because our land lays lower then the ocean. 'land' means country.

Why they always call it "Holland"? Uh...good question We've got two 'states' who are called North-Holland and South-Holland. It probably it's something that go's way back in the past.

"The Netherlands".....well, I thinks it's stupid. We are only one country damn you! :D

Assen rulezzzzzz b.t.w. There are always cool things like races and meetings

ps: where r u all from? And when will the RX-8 arrive in your country? The RX-8 will come here in the beginning of 2003. With the 250hp engine and late '03 the 192hp engine.....I'm looking forward to it!

 

192hp Engine!!??!!?!??!??!

Where in the world did you hear this? I don't think any of us have heard anything except a 250hp motor.

 

Almost from every European carsite..

The 250hp is going to cost about 42,000 Euro and as you all know it will drive from 0-60mph in 6 seconds (something like that). But here we have a few coupe's who costs almost the same, only they are slower



* Audi TT Coupé 1.8 5V Turbo 180pk
€ 41,100 - 0-60 in 7.5 seconds

* BMW 325Ci
€ 42,215 - 0-60 in 7.2 seconds

But the next types are even fast but they cost more.



* Audi TT Coupé 1.8 5V Turbo quattro 225pk
€ 48,980 - 0-60 in 6,4 seconds

* BMW 330Ci
€ 47,615 - 0-60 in 6,5 seconds

And the 192hp RX-8 probably cost about € 35,000 and will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 7 seconds, so the RX-8 always be cheaper than it's direct opponents :D Mazda Rule!

Ow before I forget:

Quote: Guilders or Florens?

Guilders it is. We call it in Dutch "Guldens". But thats history. We now have the Euro (€). And another 11 country's here in Europe too One Euro is almost the same as one American dollar

What do you all know more about Holland/The Netherlands? :P
