Looks like Mazda down under is doing something right.

362hp out of a turbocharged rx8. Looks like it's no longer a question of if, but merely when.

All these FI kits avail in other areas makes me tingle.....Nice concept, I prefer R&T RX8 but still well built car. Gives some promise towards increasing HP in future.

"So what's the purpose of the Mazda Extreme Car RX-8? To me, it looks like just a bunch of smoke and mirrors, with little real substance. Sure, it'll run fine for awhile. But if it pops a moter every 5000 miles, it has no real value, and is nothing more than a marketing stunt."
