Has anybody looked into the idea that they are doing this to cover up a lawsuit? maybe we can actually take mazda for more than the cash back deal and the service? This might totally violate a the consumer protection laws.
The only thng i can think of as far as the emmissions that would kill HP would be tha computer, cat, and muffler so if there is a different cat in Japan that they had to change out for the U.S. to pass emmissions then we might be able to order it and gain that power back W/O jacking up the O2 sensors and/or a change in the computer. Couldn't this power be made up by a K&N filter and different muffler?

There's a reason they wouldn't... law suits. If Mazda is incorrect in stating the horsepower the first time around, then a pass can be given to them because they didn't account for a few variables (ie, emissions). Second time around Mazda won't be that lucky and if the horsepower is reduced further then I'm sure there will be a quick lawsuit over this, and many will partake (myself included, depending on the level of deception and the circumstances).

canzoomer:
At the risk of repeating the obvious, and assuming the Canadian deal is the same as the US', you will have two options:
1) Take the maintenance deal and hope that magically we "get what we paid for" at some future date, though taking the deal removes Mazda's obligation to do that for us.
or
2) "If you don't like it give it back". (Sorry I couldn't resist.)
Those really are your two useful options. Ranting about something that is not on the table is a third option, but it is not useful.
We deserve to get what we paid for.

We stopped so my friend could get a first hand look at it. (it is a dealer on bird Road/ Miami) Guess what. The crooks still are selling 5K OVER MSRP. Yep, unbelievable. My deaker in Broward county is at MSRP/ w no further mark up. Also, this Mazda dealer wanted in addition to the extra 5K, a $795 dealer prep. so as of now, no--they have not dropped in price. at least in Miami.

By the way, which package and color are you getting on your RX-8? I bet you can negotiate with them more if you have one of the more expensive packages..

Stop complaining...if the 10 or 20hp is such a big deal why did you buy the car...i mean i am sure u test drove the car befor purchase and if u didnt then Heck you really need to think befor buying something 30k+....i am going to purchase the car either way...just waiting for the dealer to call me when the one i want gets in...but still...yeah a little drop in price would be cool...but i would rather have them just state the lower hp number cause that lowers insurance rates....think about that...also Mazda is so cool...they didnt have to offer a buy back on the car or anything for that matter...the reason being is cause all their published materials i.e their ads state the specifications on the car could change at ANY time....be happy you got the RX-8...if u dont like it know then maybe you bought it to bein with just to own it and now you want something different...you made a choice now stick with it or take the loss...sorry for the ranting but i cant stand the people who complain about 9hp...thats like adding an intake to the car...
