I love this pic!

This was one picture taken during the photo shoot. The photographer didn't think it was magazine worthy, but I think it's definitely desktop worthy!!

Mazda's next TV commercial:

Guy 1: It's a sports car.

Guy 2: No, it a marshmallow roaster.

Announcer: You're both right. It's the new RX-8, now with 30% more flames than other leading national brands...

RX8SpdDmn, what mods do you have to your engine/exhaust system? That's a neat shot!

^I don't think there is any, it's just a trait of the rotary.....but someone else can explain it better.

The picture is just great, wow...you just got to love it!

I have a B&B midpipe. It replaces the catalytic converter with a straight pipe. I wasn't shooting flames like that at all before I removed the cat. I have a stock muffler, though. The midpipe saves a bunch of weight and adds more power (~8hp) than a cat-back system (~2-5) would. It's similarly louder like a cat-back would be, except it's a lot cheaper, smells like a race car (it's suffocating standing behind the car), and shoots flames!! You've gotta be revving the crap out of it or basically on the race track to get it to flame, though.

A week ago, I had a guy riding my rear bumper. I revved it to redline and bounced it a few times and got the big BOOM that I've learned equates to a FLAME! He backed waaaaaaay off!
I had been waiting to have the opportunity to do that since I got it!!

It IS a trait of the rotary, but it doesn't do that stock. To help matters, the motor runs very rich, dumping extra fuel in there to help with the flaming... IF you don't have a cat. I think some people have been able to get flames with the cat still in, though.

its the cars way of saying, back the f-up off me, biotch

my luck, i'd do that to someone and it would be a cop. and i just know shooting flames can't be looked to highly upon by law enforcement, legal or not
