Mazda RX8 weight?

[Daymoe]

Does the manual 2003 Mazda RX8 put out 177Kw and weigh 1377kg? Or 170Kw? Wikipedia seems to insist on it weighing in between 1309-1377Kg. Thanks much.

Yeah I was scratching my head on that one as well.

The info on drive is the same across different sellers, so the specs for that model must come from their own database???

They have different tunes depending on whether manual or auto.

6sp Manuals were tuned for 170kW @ 8200rpm / 211Nm @ 5500rpm.

4sp Autos were retuned for a bit more torque earlier and with a lower rev limiter due to torque converter limitations. Resulted in 141kW @ 7000 rpm / 220 Nm @ 5000 rpm.

wet vs dry weight maybe?
