Thanks man, and I don't think they killed it off? 2011 is the last production year for the RX8 but apparently they're launching a redone RX7 or a new RX8 in 2014. All rumors so far, but I doubt they'd kill it.

Here are some specs if any of you are interested/don't already know.

1.3lL Rotary Engine
232 HP
159 lb.ft of torque
RWD
6 Speed Manual Transmission (obviously)
3000 lb. curb weight
'Sunlight Silver' exterior, leather seats & Bose sound system.

I know it's not that impressive to what a lot of you guys have, but to me it's the world .

Like I said, I'll post some more pics tomorrow.

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to sinan again.

Those are great, I'll keep an eye out for them.

RX8 as a first car = wow! RX8's styling is truly awesome. Pics never capture it the way they should. Congrats, enjoy the shit out of it, and be careful with it!

oh i also had a mazdaspeed dual canister exhaust. Car sounded exotic! a definite must.
