Mazda should just do a club spec version of the RX8. That would definately be cool. I think it would go pretty well too.

Because of the weight difference you know it would be tuned down from the 8's factory power levels. most likely. if it happend. if the car goes into production.
BTW if its produced i will be a preorder candidate also.

The automatice version of the Renesis would be plenty for the lightweight Kubura. If produced I will pre order as well no mater the engine.

Getting the 4 port would **** me off. Maybe just because i dont know the tuning potential of it but there is still more potential for the 6 port even given a very mild tune from the factory.
The 2.0 from the miata would not upset me one bit. That motor has been out for a long time and there are a lot of people/tuners that know how to do a lot of things with that motor.
Starting with the lightwieght car is a good start and the goal is between a 7-8:1 weight/power ratio on pump gas for me if the car comes out.

I am pretty sure they abandoned the 4-ports too, they introduced the 6-ports 6-speed automatic in Japan a while ago right?... The 4-ports would make a great FI engine tho. But haha the redline is a little low to truely enjoy the rotary!
I want to see 200hp in the Kabura with 2600lbs from the factory, that'd be enough for me. With a aftermarket tune I hope it can reach 250hp.

This is what I am hoping for as well.

the 4port is still available with a 5speed in other markets. I expect 190bhp from the entry level kabura based coupe at start. followed later by a 200plus hp version

Hmmmm... Is the 2.0L capable of pushing 190hp? are you hinting it'd have a rotary? =D

mazda should make 4 engine options for this car: 2.0, 2.3 DI and renesis, and for the ultimate sports car a FI renesis for the kabura mazdaspeed, the same engine in the mazdaspeed rx-8 
280 HP 2600 LBS

I would like to retract my previous statement about the 4port. I have been learned a little bit about the 4ports since then.
I still see it as fairly unlikely that it would get a 4 port if it gets a rotary.
Anything I should know contradictory to this zoom?
