High Comp. rotor's in the RENESIS engine

The RENESIS engine will have the same high compression rotor's as the 787B 1991 Le Mans winner being 10:1!

It is going to be one hell of an engine!

Why don't you change the exhaust on your car. I would imaging that the RX-8 sounds pretty quiet in standard trim.

Two things guys:
first, you all surely need to read the thread "How does the RENESIS make more power?" (PLEEEEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND ADD TO IT!!! IT"S MY FAVOURITE THREAD!!! don't let it die...)


and second, the 8 is suppost to have a sporty sound... dunno what that sounds like, but at WOT at 8k rpm, it won't be too quiet.

The Japanese Madza RX-8 site has been revamped. When you use the gear shifter menu a short wav file of the engine reving can be heard. Is this the 8? Check it out.
