Everyone is just having fun at your expense dude - no need to get all Mr. T on everybody.
To answer your question, there are 2 places you can look. Down where your feet go, if there are 3 pedals, you have the fast version, if there are only 2, you have the slow one. Hard to believe there are 41 horsepower in that 3rd pedal huh? Or, look down just below your radio, if you see the letters P, N, D, M, you have the slow version. If you see 1,2,3,4,5,6,R, you have the fast one.
Don't sweat it. I have the AT too and it's still a blast to drive. If I wanted something to blow the doors off the Porsches and Beamers, it probably wouldn't be a Mazda.
Chances are, your salesman didn't lie to you - he just didn't have a clue. So, rather than admit that, he just told you what he thought you wanted to hear to make the sale. I avoid car salesmen and dealerships like the plague unless I have a fixed price in hand before I walk in the door.

RX8 and a Truk....
Raise the car's hood. If under the hood it looks like THIS, it's NOT the 238hp model:
Keep in mind, NOBODY has a 238hp model from the factory. Mazda SAYS it is...but it's more like 215.
