Curious as my uncle was able to get his hands on a 04' Velocity Red MS RX8.

I know there's MS in California. Is that where the Add-ons happen?
How do you know that there's 2 imported?

It's a 04 Velocity Red. Was that a color option for that year?

MazdaSpeed is a brand name. The gold wheels can be purchased at the dealership, just go to the Parts dept.
All RX-8's are made in Japan, and imported here.

I'll consider it an MS 8 when there is some type of supercharger or turbocharger added. Until then Mazda can try to candy coat it with shocks, struts, brakes, exhaust all they want, but they are not fooling us!
