New Stormy Blue Owner
After a long wait I finally got myself an RX-8 a week and a half ago. It's a stormy blue sport model with the 6-speed manual and the performance package. When I went to the dealer, they claimed that it was impossible to get a manual stormy blue for at least 3 months out and I should get a red one instead. Then I said "I'll think about it" and stood up and what do you know, they got me one within a week. Exactly the package I wanted, too.

performance package? is that the new sport pac?
beers :beer: |
Nice car, glad you got exactly what you wanted. Now look into getting some tint :).
|
nice. I wrestled back and forth between stormy blue and phantom blue. Then once I decided on phantom, none of the dealers in DC had any on the lot, not even in auto. I told two different dealers who ever found me the car I wanted had my money. They got it in fresh from the docks in baltimore that nite. :rofl:
congrats, and enjoy! |
Congrats on the SB8!
Are you suggesting that the dealerships may not always be entirely honest with the customers? |
very sexy!
Are you going to keep it stock or are you a bit of a mod monster? |
great color choice. coasties right your gonna wanna get the tint done. im looking into getting that done asap just trying to find a decent place to take it to

Performance Pkg=Sport Pkg
I think the noobs are just calling it the wrong name. Welcome and thanks for the pics. Love Stormy Blue with Sand leather interior. Break it in properly. |

They actually have an option in the option list for the RX8 sport MT. Its called the performance package for MT. It adds HIDs, fog lights, and DSC/TC. |
ooo - I like that color!
|
congratz & welcome to the club :)
|
Stormy Blue Rulz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rock: :ylsuper: :rock:
|
yep, nice. so u didn't get the leather though? you should get the accents. they look good on the sb. on mine they do anyway. ;) welcome.
|
Nice color!
I believe they are now calling the base MT RX-8 "sport," and the performance package adds what the sport package used to. |
beautiful color! great choice of package too! just add the appearance package and you're golden ;)
|
so old sport pack = new pref pack...
i have a 04 sport. the upgrades from base were hid lights and dsc.. beers :beer: |
^^Don't forget fogs (I've got a 04 sport also).

Yup, the performance package is pretty much what they used to call the sport package. I guess they changed it when they started refering to the base trim as the sport trim.
I did know when I went to the dealer that there weren't any stormy blues within 150 miles from the Mazda webpage, and they claimed they found it by searching a wider area than they were before, but it seems like that's something they could have easily done before I started walking away. |
theyll say anything for you to buy a car right then and there, i love the color but dislike the name. get some clear corners for it
