I'm trying to buy an RX-8 and would like to know what performance difference there are between RX-8 GT, Touring and Sport. All Manual. Limited Slip? Strut Bars? Sway Bars? Bigger brakes?

Thanks

performance meaning what?.....its mostly cosmetic with the exception of dsc and traction control

pretty much the only difference is simple upgrades like heated seats, moonroof, navigation system, bose audio system, leather seats.. as far as performance .. an auto is an auto and a stick is a stick... you get the base model you'll weigh a bit less than the touring.. those upgrades is added weight.. its up to you

Thanks. I'll just take whatever then, except the Auto-tragic.
It sounds like Touring and GT has Sunroof and Sport doesn't? It there a quick way to tell?

just check the options on the 8.. in a picture you can see the window on the roof.. thats how you can tell... i got the full package except for navigation

Most dealers over-price the cars so much it ain't even funny. Like a $14K 2004 Auto for $17K and OPTIONAL DEALER WARRANTY that has the same length as the Mazada Factory Warranty.

Touring and GT has moon-roof and Sport doesn't, giving it extra 2 inches of head room over the GT and Touring.
2" of head room is good for a driving helmet. I'm taking a Sport MT. I also like the fabric seats from Sport more than leather.
