deciding if i should get 1

i'm planning on getting a rx8 because of it's handling.
i'm buying the car to mod because i want to do autocrossing,
track, and mountain driving. not drifting or quarter mile.
but i've 2 question about the car

1st i've been lookin around on the forum on the dyno section
but what exactly is the hp and tq on the car. people have big
difference on the dyno result but similar after market parts.
so how much hp n tq dose it have?!?! i've heard about how
the earlier batch has higher hp??

2nd my goal of the car is to let it reach 210 rwhp but is that
possible with out turbo or supercharger? and which 1 is better turbo
or supercharger?

im still new to this car so sorry if i say anything wrong or made
some mistake

AT = 197HP
MT =238HP
(Those are engine ratings, not at the wheels)
You should easily be able to hit 210rwhp on the manual with a few aftermarket upgrades, you probably would not need a turbocharger or supercharger.

i think it would probably be a stretch to get 210whp without FI. 04's did not have more hp as far as I know.
