C32 stage 1.5 v. Mazda RX8
No surprise here. Two people in C32, one in RX8. From stoplight. By end of 2nd gear, C32 a good 5 car lengths ahead, and pulling fast. Those RX8s sure do look nice, though (especially in the gunmetal grey). Wonder if they can be supercharged?

As long as people continue to buy them in decent numbers, there WILL be a supercharged or turbo version out by this time next year.

There are already a few companies out there making Turbo and Supercharger kits for em for relatively cheap...
but then again you have to sit back and think.. The main reason Mazda went w/ the N/A set up on their Rotary engines is because of the long term reliabily issues they had w/ the TT set ups on their generation 2 and 3 RX-7's..
I'll take the C32..
thanks..

You'll see; there will be FI version of the RX-8. Major engine tweaks are still to come. According to rumors, Mazdaspeed is working on a supercharged version of the RX-8.
