Wait a minute!?!?!?! You mean to tell me that our '8' does NOT have the horses that most folks want/need? and.....our beloved '8' will not take most in a straight line?!?!? Wow - this is a big surprise to me!
Glad I saw this post! Thanks!

Before you start drooling over the MS3, check out the dyno chart. 3,000 rpm range doesn't make for a good powerband.
I've attached my rx8 dyno (275 whp peak) so you can compare. The red line indicates 200 whp.

the MS3 might be a nice ride, but it's a FWD boyracer hatchback. An SRT-4 is still faster and cheaper at any rate....
But the 8 is a true sports machine- RWD, low weight, and designed as a sports car. Not some hotrodded hatch.
There is no MS8 and there never will be, please give it up
