RX8 CF to the max

I can't believe they stopped turbo charging the 13b, etc. That motor would scream but the current version NA is almost useless - too bad with such a well handling car....

^^^Mazda probably doesn't want the reliability problems the old twin turbos had. I also read somewhere that with today's emission standards it is just not doable with the 13b.

My friend has a turbo'd 94 Rx7 running meth that also shoots flames. When we're running I make sure I don't tailgate lol

They are having nothing but reliability problems even without the turbos! I've never had so many customers with monthly check engine lights!

Wow.. I have not had 1 problem and LOVE the 8 (lack of power aside). That said, I will be picking up a 370Z soon...
