It's pretty much impossible for the RX-8 to have much of a tuning history though, it's only what - 2 or 3 years old? The RX-7 on the other hand does have a decent amount of tuning history; RX-8s will probably get in on the tuning scene much more once they start coming out of warranty. Although, they might never hit it big due to the competition posed by the RX-7 itself: the RX-7 was a more focused driver's car (2 seater, smaller and lighter I believe) so why would a serious tuner choose the RX-8 over the RX-7?
