Mazda just annouced publicly...turbo is a myth. This extremely intricate, complex system has never existed.

Mazda also was quoted in saying that anyone who believes differently was instructed to "just don't tell rx-8 owners".

The MY 2009 RX-8 will be one swell of a lookin motor////
So we can either wait till October or just go out and get our own SC. It seems that Mazda looks at the 8 as their retard child, they love 'em but not as much as the rest of the kids.

I'd be happy with a GT with Nav, full Mazdaspeed body kit, wheels, tires, full suspension, intake, exhaust, flywheel and PCM reflash.

But that it came from the factory that way or could be ordered without having to spend thousands buying all the parts and having them installed...

I've heard the MS8 is going to have a shiny matte finish and come with an option of 2 20mm cannons and a missile rack. Is that true?

Yes. Absolutely. Sure. Well, maybe. Sorta. No. But someone should ask Mazda about the possibility of them putting out a MS8 with guns on it. ...and maybe an option for a half-track MS-8.
