It's only a five speed & the guy selling is trying to pretend he does not know that the five speed is the "low power" version !

Thats what they sell for used here .
The 5 speeds & autos usually go for about 5k less than the 6 speeds but lots of people get sucked into a "bargain" only to find they have the 4 port motor .

My favorite color choice is black & gold. I haven't figured out how to do that on an RX8 in an asthetic way, but my next one will be black from the factory with some gold trim.

It would be nice to see mazda add gold to the color line up.

Eww, looks really cheap to me. I would like to see an 8 in an orange color tho, I think that would be pretty damn hot!

That choice of gold looks good, its not too much, kinda muted. I love the way it enhances the lines of the car more, but I agree, it needs some black,

Looks ok with the kit, drop, wheels, etc. But if it was stock I'd say no. I can imagine some nice black graphics on it to make a show car.

Did anyone else see the color and immediately think, "Top Secret"!

Then I saw 5 speed/low power (Thank GOD we don't get that!) and shrunk back into my chair. :D
