a mazda isnt a mazda unless it has a rotary hey?

Actually the funniest part of your post is that you think an RX8 is a sleeper rotflmao... how is an rx8 a sleeper??? those cars just scream look at me!

A mazda sleeper might look alot more like a 929 onthe juice or a b4000 4x4 with an X-charger... maybe even a CX-7 spooling 20psi....

but not an rx8

no.. how about an rx-7 (fc) with an sr20 on it pushing 3~4 bar. now thats a sleeper that would smoke any rotary.

If you want to stick with Ford based products there's the Aluminator 4.6L 700hp crate engine, OR do a diesel swap.

Those are your sleeper options no one would ever expect.
i wasnt seriously about making it a sleeper.. just wanted to see how many mazdas are their with wrong badges..

any seriously out of all those engines the only one (two) i would want is the rb or the 2jz. and it will be the 2jz with a gt60+ on it. also the rb26 would just give me orgasms everytime i hit the gas and make every 240 driver in china town cry.

and also i would really consider droping an sr20. lived in japan and they were everywhere when i grew up. also i drove a sentra before i got my ranger. way better gas mileage and more horsepower!!!

dude!!! the only way to drift is after you get a double lift and are 6 inches in the sky with 33's. top heavy cars are way better to drift than lower cars. dont you know?!?!

i know... i was making the point that rotaries arent all the rage and that a inline-4 powered rx7 would smoke it.

If you want a sleeper, then go with a 2.3l ranger xlt, then swap the 2.3l with one from a Thunderbird coupe or a Mustang SVO thats got the stock turbos and don't do any other mods, badges, or suspension work. thats a real sleeper
