wahahahaha...thats awesome...i will be watching

 

Thanks-
I found an interesting fact...

"On any given weekend, there are more Mazdas on the road-race tracks of America than any other brand of vehicle." from the last paragraph

 

There are more miatas than any other vehicle racing too.

 

damn thats nice

 

Thats sick, cant wait to see it in action

 

At 280K it is second to the GTO-R in price, and a bit more than the Porsches. It will be interesting to see who runs it. It has a Riley Chassis, so it could be very competitive...

 

Carl, I made the same comments on another board.

Buy the defacto class champion or spend more cash and buy something wholey unproven? Hmmmm.... Doubt Mazda/Speedsource/Downing are going to have these things jumping off the shelves this first year. HOWEVER, Speedsource doesn't lose, has campaigned Porsches so they have a real good idea of what they're up against, and, well...we can all wish them well.

If the ALMS P2 car ever comes up to speed Mazda and Porsche could be bumping heads on two fronts.

 

I'll take two and a double cheeseburger, fries and a coke..

 

I would love to drive it!

 

i really dont think tht the LMP2 mazda will be able to compete with the LMP2 DHL Porsche....only beacause you have one of the best name in racing backing that car Penske Racing....Porsche Cant go wrong.. they wont...they won there debut race in laguna seca....so for tht LMP2 mazda there goin to need a little more help.....im actually goin up to sebring mon.21 and tues.22 to watch the LMP 2 Porsche do some testing. should be interesting

 

This is what the RX-8 should have been straight from the factory (ok well minus the tube frame and CF body heh).

The current 8 is lame.

 

i bet that car gets about the same gas milage as the production rx8

 

lol, prob better due to tuning

 

theres allready 3 cars ( 1 pettit and 2 speedsource) I also heard that David Spencer was in the proces of purchasing one.

 

theres only one in Grand Am and thts the one i crew for..the goldin bros.8...
the speedsource cars run in Grand Am Cup and its pretty much a production 8 with alot of tunning...and i have yet to see pettits car i dont think there running in Grand Am...and for 2006 theres only 2 Rx-8 20B 3 rotor running in Grand AM GT class and one is are car the Goldin Bros.8 and the speedsource 8

 

I meant for the next season, pettits car is a tube chasis carbon fiber 20b for grand am gt like the speedsource car, last I heard david spencer was in the proces of buildin one too.

 

I remember seeing an 8 at the last Rolex but it wasnt too impressive. I believe it was doing shake down runs though....

All I know is that it was getting passed left and right. lol

 

it had a lot of bad luck, i belive they crash and had transmicion problems and the car was new.

 

tell you what right now i have been working on the goldin bros 8 getting it ready for the grand am open test at homestead miami speedway.....with new motor putting out over 450rwhp and a sequential trans..the car will be real impressive....anyone tht lives in SFLA should come and check it out.the test days are DEC.5-6th mon-tues. if u want any more info pm me

 

that is gread news, hope you guys kick ***

 

Check out this kick *** video of an 8 I think is testing Turn up the volume and hear the sweeeet 3 rotor sound and sequential tranny.copy and past to broweser.
