... In addition, the differential gear ratio on manual
transmission-equipped cars is lowered from 4.444 to 4.777 for improved
off-the-line performance. While minimal, these performance changes give
RX-8 increased acceleration and performance, as well as even greater
responsiveness to the accelerator pedal ...

So yeah everything we have seen plus some rear geometry changes, higher driveshaft rigidity, 4.777 gears for the rear. and 90mm exhaust- thats 3.5 inches folks. The moving redline and a change in the Oiling system that ill get you the particulars on later.
Waiting on word off the base front and ill let you know as soon as i hear.
what we've seen so far is going to be "R3" here.
Regular Touring adds Bluetooth handsfree for the cell phone.
Grand Touring adds the Bluetooth, RAIN SENSING WIPERS AND AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL

Greetings from Germany, I read (a view pages before) that we have to brake all limits with this thread... (it's really an interesting issue)
And, I agree, I will also kill someone for that seats !!! (the Mazdaspeed would be looking very nice beside my white doorpanels, st.wheel, ...)
Has anyone asked at Recaro? I will ask Recaro Europe tomorrow about theses seats, if they already sell it :-)

4.77 final gear; nice!
Looks like the HP remains the same but it should be a bit quicker with the new gearing
