2004 RX8 most RWHP !??
Hey there,
I just read that the 2004 RX8 (that I own) has the most rear wheel HP because Mazda detuned all those that followed. Is this true ??? Anyone know for sure on this ? Anyone have the numbers of the more recent years ? I'm thinking of getting out of my 04 and into an 07 for instance and am curious if there's a difference.
Thanks !

I think there was something back then about Mazda claiming it had more HP than it really did. I don't remember exactly but I think they said it made like 250HP but after dyno's they showed not to be making that much and so Mazda stated a less HP number going forward.

lol ... Actually I'm happy to hear that to be the case because I'm looking to get a new one (like an 07) and want the same experience.
So this is DEFINITE, all manuals for instance all have the same rear wheel hp 2004 - 2009 ?

I kind of find it strange that the rx-8tu offered nothing more than a few body and interior options where as the 350Z offers the Nismo and Mustangs come with like 4 different engines and suspension setups.... even the RX-7 had 3 different options with suspension upgrades (if I remember correctly).

they also changed how car companies determine horsepower so that's why the numbers are different after 05 (?)
