Chris, I hope you don't mind me putting the muffler one to my collection. You will be given a mention...
Chris Piper --- is that a name of a celeb? Sound very familiar and .... maybe you're an Australian Politican...

I for one am glad to see Mazda hyping the rotary, and making a barenaked link to high performance while they're at it. Lord knows they took their share of lumps for the rotary in the past.

The formula car has the same engine. However it is able to do 0-60 MPH in 3.3 seg. The race car only weighs 1200 lbs (driver included) vs 3300 lbs for the Rx8.
The car was tested on an airport runway at Sebring,FL and it got to 170 MPH but without wings (which means no downforce and no drag). However with the wings is a different story. We were only able to go to 153 MPH with a very low wing settings at Road America. That is not too bad but is not what it is shown in the commercial either. However, racing those cars is a lot of fun. Watch the series on speed channel and look for me!!! :D I am the red car #1 . The complete broadcast schedule is on www.starmazda.com
