LOL all I said was your car isn't special edition and it doesn't make 300rwhp. It's a lightning yellow with stripes.

I dont understand. You called this guy out on his obviously fallacious add (it is obvious that he is trying to scam someone that doesnt know better) and he posted here? or he PMed you?

How did he interact?

Maybe he doesn't have a rotary. LS1? Maybe the rotors that he upgraded were the brakes?

I think he realizes his car is kinda butt ugly and wants to get rid of it fast.

Admittedly, he has something in common with a few of us....

...he assumes you are a Honda driver if you bash the 8 =p

Even if he does send you a dyno sheet showing 300, that means nothing unless we know it was tuned properly.

247bhp stock when it was new.. Rotor Kit adds 35bhp,intake 15bhp,Exedy 4 puck clutch ,stage 3pp and Mazdaspeed lightened flywheel add 18
Of course a lightened rotor and lightened flywheel improves performance, but from all the resources I've seen on the RX-8, neither of those makes more than 10bhp improvements. And intake, hah!

I was thinking he would lie and say he had it ported. He weak response was a clutch and a racing transmission.
