Nice looking cars!!! I was on quest to find a GT model but I could not let this one go. It was the nicest one I test drove. Most of the ones I looked at where driven into the ground. There was another one on the lot that was gray with no Spoiler but the red just sold me, it just shined in the sunlight. Awesome color!

Thanks guys. I was the guinea pig for the dyno (ie. freebie). Sadly these folks never dynoed a RX-8 before so they really did not know what they were doing. Numbers were about right for a 8 with only RB intake/exhaust. After a couple days and more 8s on the dyno they figured out how to do it and so in the end a rough calculation would say everyone had a low reading, so what was printed is not correct and we all had higher numbers.

Also, the tech has to know the car well. Not disengaging the traction and stability control can nerf the power ratings.

i know dynos will be different kinds with different % variation on power but it will not be that much, right!

You can press the button once to turn it off or hold it down till you see the second light come on. When it does, everything is off.
