Edmunds/Inside Line reviews Rx8 w/Mazdaspeed parts
 

http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/1.../features2.jpg

I ripped that pic from rightoff their site.

They gaveit a 7 second 0-60 and a 15.4 second 1/4 mile. Ouch. Lookslike someone didnt launch the car properly.

I likedthe video though.

Remember this isnt the official Mazdaspeed Rx8. Its a regular Rx8 w/every possible Mazdaspeed aftermarket part installed on it.

EDIT--

Do you see what Isee on that picture they took of the dash? 200 miles on the car at half a tank? Just goes to showyou how far off the review is w/o even having to click on it. 400 miles a tank would be a fuckin miracle. :cool:

My review is posted on that web page all the way at the bottom under "ccasmoe20". Sweet!

We can all tell that they cant drive the 8 the way its suppose to be driven. Those number they put up are not accurate in my eyes.

You know, perhaps they didn't reset the mileage after filling up?

Edmunds never launches cars like the magazines (read clutch frying) so what you get from them is a more realistic 0-60 and quarter mile time, just look at their other reviews.

I like this b/c I'm not doing any 7k RPM clutch bombs, so a good real world street start is a nice number.

Yeah, it doesn't reset by itself.

The top figure is 203.0 Thats the trip. The bottom number is total mileage and since it doesn't show tenths the total mileage is 1821.

I thought it was a Canadian car when I saw it first, I get about 200KM's by the time I get half a tank, but then is saw the mph on the odometer. :p

bottom half and top half of the fuel guage dont go at the same rate of change. 200 is easy to get at just below the half tank mark. but he'll probably only get 80 - 100 miles from that point until the light comes on.

nice video

nice to see the stock and ms side by side

very cool :D

They really are clueless bastards.

The damned B-pillar garnish is an aftermarket FAKE.
This is one of those clone jobs Trussville is selling.

A real MSpeed B-Pillar trim is much more conservative.

However the 1/4 time is not far off.
While they have the MSpeed bolt-ons, the engine and tuning is dead stock N. American RX-8.

If anything the MS stuff probably slowed the car down due to more weight. Also is that a typo for the coilover price, did they forget a 1 in front of the $961?
