JDM rx8s were rated at 247, in the beginning mazda mentioned having 247, then reduced it to 238 b/c of emission regulations.

yea Drivingtelevision! Awsome show (because it's Canadian). Dagmar's hot as well. I remember watching that episode when it was aired around the time of the release of the rx8 .... so that's why they were working off of the 247HP number

Nice find, I've never seen that one, plus Dagmar is real easy on the eyes , AND she loves the RX-8. What a woman....

Interesting video. Either they know very little about the engine (and they really think it's a rectangle) or they were staring at a triangle and calling it a rectangle. Either way it's unimpressive.

Well, at least no one has come along and said, "Repost."

That is awesome! 10 Stars! Does anyone know where to see the Motoring2003 review of the RX-8? I watched it when it aired on TV but can't seem to download it anywhere on the internet. I have literally every car show reviews on my hard drive except for this one and Motoring.
