Mps Rx-8, Rx-7
Ok, for anyone who got the supplement with Road and Track--
Did you read the last page? Speaking of a mazdaspeed RX-8 they say...
"The Mazdaspeed RX-8 feature firmer springs and shock absorbers, as well as stiffer anti roll bars.[Blah blah, brakes upgraded too]. According to sources, a supercharged or turbocharged version of the renesis powerplant is a distinct possiblity in the near future."
-I don't know if anyone remembers this but months ago some mazda guys at the St. Louis auto show told me this(about super/turbocharged, 300HP+) and when I asked everyone on here what they thought they said these guys had no idea what they were talking about, and that the renesis wasn't meant for forced induction, but maybe they'd up the displacement. (search for the string st. louis auto show)
It goes on to say: "For now 300 HP is a reasonable yet conservative goal. Of course, that figure may rise..."
Also, in the Ampersand section of R&T it says that the new Miata may have the possibilty of a rotary option. And then says:
"Speaking of the RX-8, rumors have the 4 door sports car spawning a 2-door convertible called the RX-7. It would be positioned between the miata and RX-8, but likely won't see production until 2006 or 2007."
-Interesting news huh? I hate to say I told you so, but...
