Why was my Mazda RX8 towed into the dealer?
It’s interesting that the tow truck driver said that this was the 3rd RX8 that he had towed into the dealer (in the last couple of weeks) because of the stalling problem. The dealer (service manager) feels that there is something going on with the car that will have to be corrected by Mazda.

What should I do if my Mazda RX-8 stall?
Try puting your car in neutral at the light – the vibration should stop or be barely noticeable. Mazda had a regional rep come out to look at my car, and his solution was to give me my 7th set of motor mounts. The vibration was a little better for about 10 feet, then it was back and worse than ever.

How many horsepower does a Mazda RX-8 have?
However, if Mazda is really considering a new RX-7, keeping the RX-8’s output roughly where it is (maybe just get back to 250-260 hp range) is smart as to not have the two models come too close in terms of “the numbers.” If the RX-7 is going to compete, I think it needs to push the 300 envelope.
