I read two random articles on the web that are stating the the 06 RX-8 6 spd. at 247 hp. Can anyone confirm this? I know the automic version got an increase, but I thought the 6spd was going to stay at 238.

BTW, the japanese site claims the same HP numbers as the '05...however they also still list the 4sp AT.

anyone know if the start button on the 2006 RX-8 going to have Rotary shape button like the option offered in Japan?
Edit: Just re-read the spec deck... it is "Smartkey keyless entry system", and does not actually say "Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry & Start System", so probably no start button

27.9 loaded w/o nav seems a bit high to me.. (maybe 1k too much.. which is about the price of a Nav.)
I know around here at least, MN, people are getting fully loaded 8's (w/ Nav) for 28k off the lot, no trade-in.
