Mazda RX8 vs. Honda S2000?

Question

I am contemplating getting a 2004 Mazda RX8 or a 2004 Honda S2000. Which one should I go with. Looking for performance. Thanks

Answer 1

I myself just bought a 2004 RX8. I have to say, I love the hell out of it, but there are a few things you need to know:

If its an automatic w/ electro shift: 212 Horse Power
manual 6-speed shift: 232 Horse Power

0-60: In my personal attempts (not some fancy racing dynamics) 6.4 seconds. I stress personal attempts, because I seriously doubt you care that they hooked the RX8 to a machine, you want real results!

------------------

Now! I have to say I am already dropping money into the RX8. There are endless amounts of aftermarket parts you can put on this thing that will bring it up to speed with the best of them! Slap on a Greddy Turbo Kit, and your boosting anywhere between 40-60 Horse Power Gain. Slap a bigger exaust with a wet kit, and you will take anything that crosses your path.

The question is, how many kiddies with their honda civics can afford the power of the rotary engine with turbo/exaust/NOS.....Not many, which in my book makes an RX8 one sweet *** ride.

Answer 2

Rx8 all the way when it comes to handling it cant be beat especially when equipped with the mazdaspeed suspension parts. Also protech preformance created a turbo that allows the rx8 to generate over 360hp at 7400 rpm and 290 pound-feet of torque at 5100 rpm for about the cost difference between the two cars.

Answer 3

u should be looking at resale, parts and service availablitiy. The rx8 has many more units produced and more dealers capable of working on it; the s2000 is an ibis that no one can work on and there are no parts available

Answer 4

An RX8 easy...they are way better and their performance is top notch!

Answer 5

neither they are both garbage they are asian cars.
