ick. looks like veilside



Also from what I read, it looks like the sort of thing mazdaspeed would do - body kit and rims, no engine mods.

That is atrocious looking. Everything about the bodykit makes it look cheap and ricer.

And I don't see why you're so upset at MAZDASPEED. As another poster has already said, this Nismo package is a body kit, some suspension work, and no engine mods. That's exactly what a MS 8 will get you.

Dont like it. The best Nismo Z was the one for 2003 or the Z Tune Nismo Z from GT4. I do like the wheels however. Funny how they look similar to the RX8 wheels!!! I am surprised this car does not have at least the Nismo intake and exhaust. Oh Mazda if you are reading however, Nismo does make a 'Sport' Cat for the Z. Can you help us out a bit??? You matched Nismo with a CAI and Exhaust (the Nismo products dont make TOO much HP, but do show some gains...), however they still make headers and the Cat for the Z. HELP US MAZDASPEED!!! Make a highflow cat badged as MS!!!! We would also LOVE a MS tune available from Speed dealers!!!

EDIT: They DO use the Nismo exhaust... Pretty much like the MS exhaust, minimal gains if any...

lol ,any how what i mean by MS to wake up. i wish they would do things for their fans like Nismo does for their fans. But i guess that is just me. But then again if they dont its not effecting me, but wouldnt hurt to see MS do something .

I know that. what im talking about is for the 8, i would think as long the 8 has been out here in the US, they would of offered something to the US customers besides shinka. i guess im just use to living in japan where they always put out some rare version of the rx car once every so often. any how im not trying to bash MS, just like to see them put something out for the 8 for once here for the US. now does it bother me that they dont? to be honest no, but being a fan of mazda since my first 92 FC (1994) i like ot see MS compete against nismo .

I'll never truly like any of the new z's until they pitch those God awful door handles, worst design killer in history as far as I'm concerned.

The Nizmo Z certainly adds to the "stationary speed."

The whole look of it seems like more of a challenge to race without any impoved ability to do so.

When I think "buck teeth," I think of the Maybach Exelero.
