rx8 2 rotor
some of you guys are a little disapointed about the rx8 which only has 2 rotors, maybe the mazdaspeed will come with 3 or 4 rotors , a TURBO for sure , the turbo better have more pounds of boost , like 24 or higher.

repeat after me: "If you can't say anything nice..."
actually Unempimp, this's being discussed in another thread...

Yes, I hope the MPS or Mazdaspeed RX-8 does NOT have a turbo.. there is something about the throttle response on a NA car that is just ooo.... *drool*
They can add more carbon fiber to the body/chassis and reduce weight more, and add the 3 rotor.. that will be the most effective production for the Mazdaspeed RX-8, instead of adding a turbo and stuff that adds insane weight.
The rotors weigh something like 12 lbs, and increasing the rotor housing shouldn't be that much weightier... say they add a max of 100 lbs to the car due to the engine, then reduce some more by using more carbon fiber... Yup, that would do it for me.
I hate turbo cars because in hot weather they will slow down off their specs... lag sucks, and you have have the thing idle before you turn it off... nah, give me NA any day over turbo. I hate turbos.

Anyway I would not buy a Mazdaspeed RX-8 with turbos.. 3 rotors and lighter weight, YES, but not with a turbo. I just don't like turbos.

Anything near 24psi seems like a tall order for a production rotary...but then again, what do I know?
As far as blowing 24psi through a Lexus IS, Toyota's cast iron blocks are tanks. They can take most anything you can throw at them. (At least I think they are still cast iron, they were in the last Supra.)
