ok. my dealership called me to and says your rx-8 is here. (happy happy joy joy moment) he then menchines to me that ther is some new chip for the rx-8 that bumps it up to 350 hp. I'm a bit sceptick. does anyone know what the hell he is talking about.

i must know if it is true.

someone help me.

 

Does it sound like one of those informercial you seen on TV? You bet it does :p

 

now my sales men told me about it. no infomecial bs. he said there was two places that sell them

 

ahem.. CROCK...

 

thats what i think too.

 

Yeah, and buy one of those magnets you attach to the fuel line to align the atoms.

 

I'd pay $2000 today for one of these "chips" if they gaurantee a 275 hp dyno pull.

 

Well, let's just bring out the 'ole meter and see.....

 

Call the sales man back and tell him this: :D

 

I think he may have the RX-8 and the B5 Audi S4 mixed up.

 

Ask him for details and watch him squirm

 

hang on, HANG on... that's just rediculous.

a chip, eh?? suppose that the RENESIS could in fact breathe at a higher rpm, and it could make 130lbft way, way up there (which it can't).

350 * 5252 / 135 = 13 616.3 rpm sh'yeah, right.

alright, well, what about every American's favourite metric, torque??

surmise that right near fuel cutoff (a supposed 9300rpm) that max torque is hit:

350 * 5252 / 9300 = 197.66lbft *snicker* oh yeah, that's sooo possible.

the next time you talk to that guy, call him an effin' moron.

 

Yves, just play along and ask him about the details and where you can get it, pretend you wanted to put some money down for it and such etc etc. After you get details, slam him with the Math Equations and maybe some proof from Mazda themselves. Afterwards, tell him to give you a REALLY REALLY nice discount or you are reporting his name to the Mazda head office for attempted fraud. HA ! :D
