I am assuming the 8500 responses are jokes...right. 
Obviously i am asking because the tach is considerably innacurate, so i cant just look at it while driving to determine this. So i was just curois if anyone knew what the actual rpm was where it activates. According to the tach, it starts at about 8400 or so, because the leading edge of the needle only needs to reach the 8500 mark, not the center of it for the buzzer to go off. I would guess this is around 8100 to 8200 in reality but not sure.

I'm mildly curious why you can't just drive it and when it goes off, look down and see? Sure, the tach isn't precisely accurate, and up there is off by a few hundred rpm, so subtract a few hundred from what you see, and your pretty darn close.
I used that method, and it worked great for me.

google this: what rpm does the rx8 beep
The first 30 results have the answer.
Sounds like you just enjoy typing.
I look forward to your next thread "what color is my car?"

You reply trying to return an intelligent answer, but cannot simply google the answer yourself?

omg nevermind.
Me: "the tach is off, so i was just curious what a particular point of interest is in terms of actual rpm if anyone has accurate data"
replies: "look at the tach" or, even better, "look at internet sources that just tell you what the tach says"

How about this. If you already knew that A: the tach was off, and B: the conventional reply is going to be what the tach shows, then why didn't you ask (or search for) how far off the tach was? It would give the the means to answer your own question without sounding like a complete moron?
As it is....
