Hi all,

In the 2005 buyers guide in this weeks Autoweek they mention that the rx8 should get "Expected freshening, power boost." . They also mention that a convertible could arrive next year. So another magazine mentions more power coming down the pike soon.

 

Well if they are referring to the Auto version, it is true.

 

Please let it be the 6 speed 300 hp stock !!!! wow that would be sweet

 

I wouldnt hold your breath.

 

Then I would have to trade. But they don't make yellow anymore.

 

I wouldn't trade the yellow for anything!!!

dd sends.... :D

 

Maaco. :D

 

If they did make a 300HP 6spd...I too would have to work something out, maybe get another job and drug my wife until it was parked in the garage...lol.

 

those are some hard wishes but on the other hand i will still be upgrading 2007 evo here i come.

 

Yeah I know, getting another 62HP without a Turbo or SC is not very easy, but most great things in life don't come easy.

 

I think autoweek was talking about the automatic versions. To my knowlege no changes were made in power for the 6spd versions. Even if that was fact for the manual I would not trade in my car. Need a huge I big improvement for that to happen, waiting to see what the mazdaspeed rx8 can do later on down the line.

 

+1

 

For 2006 the big change for the car is that the Auto will be the 6-speed from the MX-5 and the hp will move up from the 198 to 212 .
