apparently you didn't stumble across the search button ... it posted in the Competition area

 

and the article is really old Im trying to get new info on this, there are several cars under development 5 in total that I know of.

and the one fron goldin bros racing race last year but they din't have a lot of luck and finish 48ht.

 

It's almost a year old...any updates?

 

Haha!

 

i'm not gonna use search button on every freaking post i put up....

i didnt' even find this article when looking up the rx8.. i was looking at porsche.. and happened across some pictures....

don't like it? don't read it

 

LOL, so mean...

All of the following come to mind:

 

the baddest looking widebody kit on an 8 right now...

 

i'd rather they not did this tube frame crap....

theres not much left of a car.. just a poser...

 

how about we write mazdacomp and tell them how much we want to see a factory back competitive team?

 

iono.. maybe cuz they probably don't care about what we think that much....

we're already hooked...

 

here are some pictures that i have had of that car for a long time







its still pretty sweet though

 

mazda does care, in fact they have people reading the forums for consumer feed back

 

really?

if you are reading this mnao... i have 3 scratches on each rotary crest on the head rests of my front seats... they are from whoever screwed in the hex bolts into the crests... i would like this problem addressed and fixed... this is really poor q&a for such a good car... love the car... yep.. and plus... i'm mech engineer in need of a job with the design team.. please hook me up... pm me for contact info and resume


and btw.. that grandam rx8 looks freaking sweet... i wouldn't mind that body kit.. haha though i don't know if it'd fit in my garage

 

^ wow... just wow

 

i want flames like that
-im serious - how do i get em... supercat + borla hasnt thrown anything let alone flames

 

car looks pretty sweet IMO.....'cept for the ghetto wing. but hey, it was put on for a reason right? and only single exhaust? but the flame shooting out of it makes up for it, lol.

 

That wing is required in the rules by Grand AM. and single exhaust makes more power....oh and you want flames....you have to buy a full motec engine management system and build a 3rotor P-Port making over 450whp.

 

wing is for down force when the car is doin 175mph around daytona 3 and 4 banking..

 

im betting everything on that car is functional since its in the grand am league....
cant really talk ill of a race car.

i wish my 8 looked like that

 

That Car Is Sick!!!!!

 

Yea you can find vidoe clips here-> http://videos.streetfire.net/Default.aspx?p=5&kw=11
Look on the right of the page 2 down from the top, 3 down from the top and 3 down on the left.

 

Since each "hex bolt" in each crest in the headrests is nothing more than decoys and is actually molded into the plastic piece, this is highly unlikely. Don't wear baseball caps and then lean back into the logos.
