The e-mail said this:
We are happy to inform you that the factory has completed production on your 2004 Mazda RX-8, the car Edmunds.com described as " ...more willing at high rpm than even Honda's S2000 because of the rotary's phenomenal smoothness."
Your RX-8's Production Date: 20030602
At present, your Mazda RX-8 is being shipped from our Hiroshima plant in Japan to your local destination port. In about 3-8 weeks, depending on where you live and shipping schedules, the port will release your car and it will be on its on the way to the dealer! We'll let you know as soon as that happens so that you can make arrangements to pick it up.
I don't really believe the e-mail (seems like standard text) - it will probably make the boat this weekend if one is leaving then.

I guess the question now becomes when will the cars built 06/02 or 2nd allocation ones will get here. I'm interested if prulicidor's car is on water. I don't know if I can assume mine is going to be in that bunch (last five of VIN: 02626). My sequence # is up there, but I still hope for the best.
My dealer also has the first preorder (the original one that was ordered for me) scheduled for arriving 3rd week in July. I'll try to get the last 4 on that VIN as well, just for reference sake.

Based on this thread https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/west-coast-ship-schedule-5342/ it appears the boat left on 6/4 or 6/5, so perhaps some of the cars with 5/28- 6-/2 possibly made it on the boat eventhough the VIN status is showing as NEW???
