tell me its not true 8k rpm voids warranty
Ok some one just told me that if you go past 8k rpm you void the rx8s warranty is this true? If not mazda has made a huge mistake in customer satisfaction! They advertise their 9k rpm so heavily!

Absolutely NOT true!
Dont sweat it, feel free to let that engine soar to 9000rpm whenever you feel the need.

thanks everyone so much believe it or not this was my last obstacle before my decision to purchase a rx-8 Im getting one this week or next. Looking for a used one with under 30k miles for around 22k 6 speed with a sunroof in florida...Any info would help and yes i posted this in the for sale section..Thanks again! BTW it was a rumour someone on the rx7club forum posted i guess they were hating on the renesis...whatever..

just so you know there's a few guys here who tweak and have made an ooops her and ther and blown way past redline to 13.5k and higher and not had a problem. the engine can go well over 15k some of the racing ones do 20k. it just the rest of the drivetrain and other stuff like the belts, water pump and flywheels ( most of the "blown engines" from overrevving I have seen are flywheels that exploded ) and such that cannot take the speeds.

One other note, I assume your planning on buying a 6 speed but just in case you are thinking automatic you should know that the auto has a different engine and redlines at 7k.
