[QUOTE="hamsap, post: 1962434, member: 1832"] It could probably be due to its spec. (ie. Type-S, Type-E) etc. Differences lies on the transmission type, engine differences (4 inlet ports & 6 inlet ports, etc), different wheel size and design (16 inch & 18 inch), disc rotor size, etc and also of course it's year of manuf. and versions. (Evolve - if it's ever available outside of UK, Sport Prestige Limited II, REAL Mazdaspeed, Shinka special edition, etc) I've also come to known that the Type-S 6-speed manual comes with a rather light propeller shaft. So light that it actually 'feels' and looks like its made out of carbon fibre though I can't really confirm it's actual material used. On a Type-S stick-shift, fuel comsumption is ok with a full-tank (around RM100+ worth of petrol) giving out 400km+, going easy with the throttle on a good day. A nice and well balanced car I would say. Very nippy and neutral car to drive and tuck around corners. If you're looking for sheer, brutal out-right speed, the RX-8 may not be your type if you want to remain it in NA form. Oh and there's one thing I'm real curious about. Does rotary engines run way much hotter than let's say, a turbo-charged 4 banger? i've seen oil-temp and water-temp readings as high as 90-100 degree's C after some short spirited drive. The car has stock radiator with an additional mazdaspeed oil cooler.. [/QUOTE]
