Hmmm.....

Maybe he's getting ready to post his car FOR SALE on Ebay. Let's see.... the first RX-8 delivered in the U.S. could probably ****** up at least a 10 grand premium for some collector looking for bragging rights.... yea... that's it... that's the ticket....

NOT!!! likely :p

Have fun!!

3Rotor:

Have fun with that car! It's good news to us all, to hear the RX-8 has finally arrived.

I've been so wrapped up in this whole thing, I thought I saw the rear of one about four blocks away today. I think the only remedy for these hallucinations will be to get my own!

Hey guys, thanks for all of the congrats - it's a little overwhelming...
I am heading down to a big car show in the early hours of the morning. I have only been able to drive the car about 30 miles or so - pure heaven. In about five hours I will be heading down to the Baxter's Portland Historics at Portland International Raceway, where RPNW will have the RX-8 and 19 other rotary cars on display - along with about 500 plus other cars. I plan on keeping my thoughts written down and will post something Sunday evening when I return. In short, I offer the following initial thoughts:
1. Wow!!!
2. Yes indeed, it is even more stunning in person than any photograph!!!
3. I am a rock star - everywhere I have gone today I am a celebrity!!!
4. Smooth, smooth, smooth!!!
5. Mazda has nailed it!!!
They kept saying "You won't be disappointed," and I definitely am not.

So how's the stereo in that thing?

I am very curious about the noise reduction system that Bose puts out (similar to their noise canceling technology used in airplane headsets) equiped in the RX-8.

Did you notice a difference?

...must have been a sweet afternoon!

Similar intent (hear the music over the ambient noise) but completely different methodologies. Where a noise-cancelling headset actively counteracts the ambient noise by putting out a complementary waveform to actively cancel the noise, the AudioPilot system measures the ambient noise and adjusts the output volume accordingly.

So while one measures the noise outside the listening space (the headset) and outputs audio program + "antinoise", the other measures the total audio inside the listening space (audio program + noise), determines the noise component by subtracting the audio program, and adjusts the audio program level to maintain a given signal-to-noise ratio.

Clear as mud?
