New Mazda rx8 r3??

To_Slow · 03-12-2009, 08:37 PM

Hello Pips.

I got the go ahead from the boss lady today to look for a new car

.

So it looks like the new r3 will feed my rotary crack.

Now what color do you guys think to go with, blue or black no red.....

Or any input regarding driving experience, how the new seats feel and the suspension handling?

Thanks

I only sat on it, but the driving position is PERFECT

I would trade every car I have for one of those

ditto. i love the setup. All the 09 manuals have 4.77 gears now too!

Phoenix7 · 03-12-2009, 09:24 PM

black or red...

I think RED looks better.

Whizbang · 03-12-2009, 09:26 PM

should come in blue too

djmtsu · 03-13-2009, 09:45 AM

Blue or go home.

Blue or Black, red is too, um... cliche.

I hope those 4.77 gears fit out back on my '04!!

BLUE!!!!!

It's been getting excellent reviews, great handling, fun to drive, they only complain about not enough power but that's usual with the RX-8s

nothing a ZEX wet nitrous kit cant fix

BLUE FTW

i love the blue color, but i have a feeling in ten years red will be that super rare color everyone wants since no one bought any in the first place.

To_Slow · 03-13-2009, 10:51 AM

I spoke with the gate keeper lol Boss. Regarding color. Wee thinking the blue might be the best, but at the same time will se what looks best.

I found a local dealer that has one in stock a black one. Might go there tomorrow and check it out. Will harass the sales man regarding price finagle and what not. If its a good deal i might get it on the spot.

If not i might wait a couple of weeks and see what the sales guy calls me up with a offer i cannot refuse...

Will se....

I looked into possibly getting the blue R3 as a new dd, but have decided against it. Great car I'm sure, just not what I'm looking for currently. I do think it is, by far, the best looking 8 that Mazda has put out.

Red is usually the most sold. The 93-95 RX-7 R1 and R2 most sold color was red.

WE3RX7 · 03-13-2009, 02:57 PM

^ agreed, red will never be the most rare color on a sports car, lol.

Go Nordic Green and Yellow Micas, lol...

To_Slow · 03-14-2009, 04:05 PM

Well i went with the blue mica. Will be picking that bad boy up at the end of the month.

That gives me a good reason to break in the motor with a drive down to DGRR

Will be cool to meet some of you down there.....

I will post some pics when i pick that bad boy up.....
