I like the over all looks of the RX8 however the addidtional doors for the rear passengers looks odd. I like the traditional two door Mazdas Like the Rx7.

Actually, now that I remember it, I'm running 3.90 gears now.....no wonder it's so snotty........it had 4. something as stock......so when I lost a tooth on the pinion gear, I upgraded.......Mazda racing stuff......

I tell ya what....watching Drag Racing in HD is something to behold. When seen with HD and a really good Surround Sound system....WOW!!!

Especially when a car grenades the engine at the end of a run.
