Talking help, oppinions appriciated

ok so here is my deal, i am looking to purchas an rx8, and from what i have heard and read about Mazda is coming out with a new '09 rx8, first off i was wondering what the difference, besides the looks of the car, does it have over the other models, is there any preformance gain?
i would like to buy an manual rx8, but i really like cars that have a little kick to them, does anyone have any suggestions on some upgrades i can do to increase the HP or Torque a significant amount (besides dropping a 20b into it) and the number increase it will help on this beauty. also how much it is going to run me.

all comments and help are appriciated

thanks alot :D

FI is the only way to get big numbers out of the 8, and you will be looking at around atleast 5 grand

Please - you know what a 20b is, but you've never heard of FI, and don't know what the '09 differences are?

Back to school for you, you have a LOT of reading to do before you post again.......
