Color: Velocity Red
Interior: Black Red
Mazda appearance, spoiler, black chrome wheels, strakes, and rotary accents.

I'm pretty happy with my car, but I'd like to see:

Seat heater rocker switches move to the dash from the console. I'm always accidentally turning them on. I look down when my butt is hot and sure enough, I've turned it on. My VW GTI had them on the dash with a dial to select the amount of heat for each seat. That was much nicer.

Front seat coolers, not just heated seats. Leather gets hot, too.

Telescoping steering wheel (move it further towards the dash). The tilt is useless. I have to keep it at the highest setting. My legs aren't toothpicks.

Power hard top like the Mercedes SLK. Every once in a while, I'd like to put the top down. It's usually too hot, but it's been in the 60's the last few days. Really nice weather.

I'm fine with the amount of power and my MPG, so no engine changes.

Automatic climate control with dual zones for driver and passenger. We use this all the time in my husband's Navigator. He likes it about 5 degrees colder than I do.

18x9.5 wheels on all four corners.
800lbs/in springs + penske shocks + stiffer roll bars
more USABLE down force that doesnt add too much drag
lower final drive
speedo healer
motec
custom roll cage
seats that actually hold you

Am i the only sissy here who would want a SMG style box in their rx?


I do like the t-top idea, but the hardtop convertible idea is cool too, IF they could keep the weight the same (yeah right) or the rigidity the same (yeah right).

rx8 convertible would loose the perfect balance, remember convertibles are reenforced on the side to make up the lack of the top, RX8 has no side pillars so there goes your convertible.they'll have to re-make the whole sistem.



P.S. all i really want from my car is a lil more HP and Torque, besides that our cars are perfect. if i wanted a rice i would got a honda. look arround see if you find a car as perfectly balance as our BaBies.
