i am ordering an rx8 and i realy want a mazdaspeed but i know they are only in japan and you cant get them if i tryed but wich rx8 do i want when i orger cause i know there are some different packages and such

thanks

 

best bet would be to read the brochure, and pick the features and package you want. everyone has different tastes, i got mine fully loades, other people get the base model. go to the dealership and look at different ones.

 

what i mean is which model is the fully loaded and has the highes hp an tq i dont want a slow automatic i want the fast manual

 

The only difference in horsepower is between the automatic and the manual. The 6-speed manual has the most hp and torque. There are no options that modify the performance of the car. You can say that a fully loaded RX-8 is slower than a base RX-8, due to the weight of the extra options (e.g. moonroof, spoiler, appearance kit weigh some). It's minimal differences... basically, all 6-speed MT packages have the same performance.

Mazdaspeed RX-8 is not out yet, even in Japan (AFAIK). Only the Mazdaspeed "bodykit" is out and some other parts, but no official Mazdaspeed model per se.

 

I seem to recall that the mazda site has one of those build-your-own thingies, that should give you an idea of what the different packages and all are.

so get the fast manual.

 

If you plan on building a MazdaSpeed RX8, you would want to get a 6speed RX8 with the Sport Package and go from there. That will make it so you have a little less parts to buy to do the conversion. Also keep in mind while you can buy MOST of the parts to make a MazdaSpeed Replica....you cant buy them all, such as the Engine Internals!

 

I agree with the previous postings, go with the 6 speed if you can. In addition, the GT package is very nice if your budget allows. The leather, power seats and lower back support make for a much more comfortable ride. The GT includes all the other extras in the other touring packages, including, but not limited to, the 300 W Bose system with the noise compensation technology, and the powered sunroof. However, no matter what you decide on, enjoy it and don't look back.
