I read somewhere that it would be almost impossible for them to turbo it, something about the exhaust gases being too cool to heat up the cats, however supercharging would possible . . . 
On second thought...**** the cats, rip em off and slap a turbo on that **********er. :yum: :yum:

i read something about them potentially bring the 7 back in spirit with a sportier model of the rx8 with 2 doors and a turbo, maybe not a turbo but a higher power engine. Ill look through my mags i think i read it in road and track (got a free subscription from buying something on crutchfield ). I thought it was interesting.
Something i wanna know is why the automatic loses 45hp yet it's called like the "sporty auto shift" or something....nothing sporty about a 45hp loss now is there?
