I bought a new car (not a cobra) *pics*

[xenon]

I always wanted a 2004 Cobra ever since I had my 2001 GT. I never thought I would ever consider owning a different sports car until I started test driving some.

I fell in love with the Mazda RX-8 and decided to pull the trigger and find a low mileage one in white.

I found a 2005 RX-8 with only 19,600km and it's 100% flawless!!! It has all options accept Navigation. The guy spent more time taking care of the car than actually driving it.

It has a Greddy turbo kit with stock boost (6.5psi), Greddy SP2 exhaust, Spec Stage 3+ clutch and flywheel. The turbo kit has only a few hundred kilometers on it since it was installed so its time for a dyno tune.

He kept all the service records so there were no surprises at all!

Yeah they are not hard to beat but damn they are fun to toss around. :banana:

I have plans for about 350rwhp. For a daily driver that is 3,000lb... that's perfect!

What the hell is a kilometer?

 

[svt_fan1129]

distance : One kilometer is equivalent to 1,000 meters or 0.62 miles

Your friend sucks at driving.


To the OP, I was going to tell you to get a turbo kit, but glad you already have one. Get the Mazdaspeed bodywork and call it a day.

 

[traktrbeam]

Damn nice DD.

 

[tristateZ28Lt1]

Yeah man congrats! Should be a nice little car with the Turbo. What numbers?

 

[CobraMarkVIII]

very nice, good choice on color, theres a guy at my work that drives a maroon red one, and it just doesnt do the body lines justice.

 

[TakeAwayTheFear]

Got TORQUE... :lol:

:lol::lol: that was funny

Horsepower, SAE net 232 @ 8,500
Torque, SAE net (lb./ft.) 159 @ 5,500
