List things that you want to see in the next rx Car

I'm sure there is a mile long list, but here goes:
300 hp via three rotors or dual scroll turbo (the turbos might be too expensive)
Price to remain close to the same as todays RX8.
Lose the suicide doors, but keep the 2+2 format (reasoning-hard to justify two, two seaters for such a small company)
Weight loss of 150lbs
A clear oil reservoir tank, where you can place a quart of oil in it and not keep checking the dipstick. It would just inject the oil into the system when needed. Ok, I admit it adds a level of complexity.
Dual clutch transmission for the city dwellers or others.

- 16X as standard equipment; with a Mazdaspeed8 turbo option (well, maybe)
- Separate 2-stroke oil tank for the OMP
- Standard double-din slot for the radio
- 20MPG city, 28-30 MPG highway
- Dick sucking attachment

300 whp.
More of the Nagare design influence.
Rotor shaped center exit exhaust.
A better dipstick location and light.
Higher offset wheels for aggressive lip.
Lighter curb weight.

The attendant asked him if he needed help he yelled out, "Na man! I've worked at three gas stations befoe!". Quickly buzzed around and went in the right way. Yes, his car sounded like it had a gutted cat. When he pulled out, his kids head was going back and forth with his sketchy clutch engagements.. The thing that made me laugh is he had a licence plate, "Vtaakk"

Looked like SUCH a crack head, feel sorry for the kid.

Two seats (only)

Light weight (carbon fiber already)

16X

2 seats, 2500 lbs, 1.3L direct injected 3 rotor (smaller rotors) based on 16X dimensional ratio (tall and narrow), turbocharged to 300 hp. This would give 25 mpg city, 35 mpg hwy, and run a low 13 second quarter mile while still meeting emissions. I wouldn't ask for any more power than that as it won't happen anyways.
