I particularly like the muffler one...

 

Good find! Both ads are pretty cool, but I agree that the muffler one is the best!

 

Nice! In last week's Autoweek BMW had an ad for their Formula car and this week Mazda placed an almost identical ad for their Star series car. Shameless copy? Probably, but nice anyway.

 

nice find buddy

 

Chris, I hope you don't mind me putting the muffler one to my collection. You will be given a mention...

Chris Piper --- is that a name of a celeb? Sound very familiar and .... maybe you're an Australian Politican...

 

0-60 in 3 seconds and a top speed of over 170 mph.....ouch!!! to bad we can't sneak that into an 8 somehow, oh the fun I would have with that....sigh....

 

The engine really isn't much different, those stats are based more on the fact that the car is so extremely light.

 

Nice! Hadn't seen the muffler one yet.

 

I for one am glad to see Mazda hyping the rotary, and making a barenaked link to high performance while they're at it. Lord knows they took their share of lumps for the rotary in the past.

 

The formula car has the same engine. However it is able to do 0-60 MPH in 3.3 seg. The race car only weighs 1200 lbs (driver included) vs 3300 lbs for the Rx8.
The car was tested on an airport runway at Sebring,FL and it got to 170 MPH but without wings (which means no downforce and no drag). However with the wings is a different story. We were only able to go to 153 MPH with a very low wing settings at Road America. That is not too bad but is not what it is shown in the commercial either. However, racing those cars is a lot of fun. Watch the series on speed channel and look for me!!! :D I am the red car #1 . The complete broadcast schedule is on www.starmazda.com
