I really want an rx8 thats looks like this.

does anyone know where i can design an rx8 i remember seeing the rx8 in a magazine where it was white and had black tinted lights it looked so cool. it was supposedly a mazdaspeed future rx8 or something. either way does anyone have any pictures of a white rx8 with black tinted lights, a website to design ur own, or a list of what i should get in order to customize an rx8 like this one. i know it had a mazda speed body kit though.

thanks in advance

mike

I kinda like the funky fog lights and the hood scoop. Not too offensive like in the STI (sorry Ike).

why did you think that? you dont know which type of sc it is, the size of it, how much its pushing, what state of tune it was in , what the size of the intercooler is, if they've done anything to teh exhaust or cat, what that car base dynod at , what it dynod at after the sc and a littany of other things. do you mean as a percentage increase or just a peak hp number? really that statement of yours is incredibly naive.


i would really love to have that hood and the function that goes with it

If you read the article, on page 2 it does say the output is 275 hp.

Ignore the 250 hp on the specs page, as I really believe that was a cut and paste from R&T's SPEED magazines spec page on the JDM MS RX-8 from their previous issue. The spec page for this Renegade MS prototype should have been 275 hp/200lb torque.

you know, i dislike the use of pimp here to describe this car. pimp reflects a personage who dresses really flashy but has no class and not much of worth underneath the flash.. on the other hand this car is a lot more that just the flashy exterior.

The reason why you think it should perform more is you need to look closer.

The 19" wheels make a big difference in speed.
