And call it what you will, but the RX-8 is a 4 dr. I just can't respect that.
STi's are 4 doors and they're faster stock than any RX7. But I despise STi's for a number of reasons so please find some reason to bash them aside from the 4 door family car shit.

RX-8's are in their first year of production people, give it time and Mazda will be selling Turbo'd RX-8's. They wait so people with N/A RX8's trade in their old ones for new ones and they make more money. I helped a guy supercharge his RX8 last night, he used an electric supercharger and damn, it's faster than my FC now. Others who have done this are claiming 100 HP increases from the start. AND on top of that RX8's have shitty intake, and exhaust. Once people do some work on them they'll be respectable.
