$38,000 is still a lot unless it had zero miles, it would cost a lost less to buy a slightly used rx8 and get all the mazdaspeed parts.

There actually was a Mazdaspeed edition, in Japan only. It had all of the typical MS add-on's such as MS intake, exhaust, flywheel, shocks, front end, etc., but no real performance enhancements other than the minor already cited. So unless the steering wheel is on the starboard side .....

btw: there was a MS edition Miata in 2005, but it had a turbo so a significant upgrade.

We all believe that it has ms parts on it.... but are you really willing to pay 20 k for an 05 rx8 with some parts on it... you might as well find a new 09 or leftover 08...
