duval7,
I really cant agree with your opinion. I don't feel that the FD is in some "different league", or that the RX8 is some kinda lame duck because Mazda didn't try to conquer the world with it.

All I can agree with is that it's a pretty car. Outside of that, it's another RX7. Faster from the factory, but honestly, how many of us actually leave our cars stock... power and appearance are all about money, not the stock trim.

In Vinnie's case, I don't think an RX8 + 13b-RE FC is a fair trade. To me, an FD isn't worth close to $20,000 unless it has a 20b swap. I wouldn't sell my RX8 for any less that $12,000 for the work, styling, it's still under warranty, and all dealer serviced. If they wanted my bridge port, it would be even more. Vinnie's FC could easily fetch $6,000 ~ $8,000. It's clean and well done. I'm not sure what all he's got in his RX8, but running, I still wouldn't sell it for less than $9,000.

Hard to trade away the practicality of the 8 + a nice / well built 2 seater for another 2 seater with similar potential to the sports car you already have. Hard to value it even more in that aspect for me.
