that would be at least a viable way to get it out there. Just use the same chassis and have the engine as an option.

Exactly, I would adjust the suspension for the change in weight and the added power. If the 16x makes over 260hp that is almost 100hp more then the stock MX-5. I am pretty sure that if mazda built that car it would sell. specially if it is a Limit edition.

I still think that the MS3 should have AWD. then mazda could bump the output a little. I think 315 ft/lb in that size car would be fun. Mazda did drop a 2.3 MZR engine in a 2. It has "Turbo 2" on the side. That made be chuckle a little.

I still want the next RX to be package like the FC. With a wide price range and opitions. But no Auto transmission.

screw laser ignition. i want nuclear ignition.

Raksj04 · 11-30-2011, 03:38 PM

Screw nuclear, Antimatter.

Whizbang · 11-30-2011, 03:45 PM

screw antimatter, dark matter!

sounds cooler anyway.

Whizbang · 11-30-2011, 03:47 PM

that said i dont think dark matter happens to destroy matter on contact or anything cool like that..

I think the exhaust should have a nano black hole. that is how we will make a zero emission car, plus it would be quiet as hell.

I still like when the local car lot salesman told my mom the RX-8 shared the same 4cyl as a Mazda 3.

And I'm sure she didn't care.

I like to go educate my local mazda saleman once a month.

Exactly, so the salesman cater to the 99% that don't know and don't care. They don't need to know any of those facts because either people don't know/care as stated, or they already know (like us) and in that case they don't need to inform us.

I would personally like to see Direct Injection to the roatry! Belt driven high pressure fuel pump. possibly introduce a turbo still using the high compression rotors.
The new style MOP seems to be lubing lubing the seals pretty well
DI may reduce the carbon build up and allow higher MPG and power

Raksj04 · 11-30-2011, 04:09 PM

I laugh at one who said rotaries are quiet. But looking back that wasn't false. the engine its self is quiet no vavle noise, but the exhuast,... yeah not quiet
