Rotarygod,
Yes you did give an alternative. Although great tires can be expensive, I never said I wanted to change the engine's output significantly. It was more the principal behind the comment I was trying to get across.

I wasn't offended at all. There are a lot of comments in this forum that don't accomplish anything but do make the poster chuckle when they type it. I'm guilty of it as well. Does yellow paint really make a car faster?

 

All these bad auto/manual jokes aside--just be patient--wait for warranty to be up and then turbo/supercharge it. Until then--you may get 5-10HP from an exhaust system--but even then you won't really feel any significant change. With the auto--go for styling mods and/or suspension. I am kinda 'pimpin' mine out--custom leather interior done, 1/2" thick floor mats with personalised embroidery done, Infinity Kappa speakers all the way around, sub coming soon. My auto 8 plans are keep it until I finish dental school at which point I'll boost it or trade it in on a better RX8 (6spd or Mazdaspeed). If I boost it I will definately get another vehicle in addition to it.

 

I say the same thing when I get asked---it handles well

I bought the best looking car for the money

 

:D glad u said that.!!

 

I was just about to say 'push it', but forgot that I own a AT too

Focus on cosmetic upgrades, power is just not something easily had for an AT.

Heck power is not something easily had for the Rx-8
