New RX8 owner
My name is Jon, I currently drive a 93 240sx and I bought my wife a 2005 Mazda RX8. The car is beautiful, only had 36,000 miles and we got it for 14,300 out the door. So i figured that is less than 10,000 miles a year on this car and I couldnt pass it up. Who ever had it before me barely drove it!
The car is a 6-speed manual and it seems as if it has a short throw shifter stock from the factory? I had been doing some reading now that I got one and Im under the impression I got the one with 238 advertised hp? How exactly would I know, or do you know that because it has the 6spd in it? Just wanted to introduce myself. Im looking forward to putting some mods on this thing.

I have a question. Do rotaries lose power in the heat and humidity? I know Honda VTECs suffer horribly. My brothers 350Z ran the same 14.3 @ 99 in south florida heat as the corrected magazines times.

EDIT: There might--pure BS speculation here--be more of a difference with rotaries and VTECs because of the dependence on high RPMs and the resulting high airflow.
