Talking Mazdaspeed 8 +100hp

So I was just at a local dealer talking to the head of the service department about some stuff. When I mentioned possibly putting the Mazdaspeed suspension on my car he said, "Why not just wait until next year and buy the Mazdaspeed 8; and you'll get another 100 horsepower!!"

I laughed. He looked mildly offended.

"That's what I've been told" was his response.

Uh-huh.

The 8 is slotted for a revamp in '09.

Could be then but Mazda would let one of us know before someone in the service department, right?

with all the crap mazda has been taking from you you guys (generally speaking) in regards to poor fuel economy, the last thing they're going to do is boost the hp by an additional 100 horses.

I have about that, and I get ~15 mpg now instead of 18.


This is what mazda thinks of your idea:

Actually wasn't the RX-8 to be discontinued next year?

I'd rather it be discontinued than revamped And if it's revamped it better be a lot different
