say wha? the newer VQ engines generate very strong torque at relatively low rpms and have a fairly flat torque curve from 3k rpm to redline. let's be clear...any VQ series infinity/nissan (even the titan) will squash any mazda (*in a straight line  ) with equal $$ invested in mods. i can support this with dyno graphs and time slips if you'd like.
that said the rx8 is a very nice car with *great handling and good power potential, plus you can get them used at a decent price. as far as your 6 goes, i think you're right on with your asking price. the newer mazda's are nice cars but still take a pretty hefty depreciation hit.
He means bottom-end as in engine block, connecting rods, and pistons. You can only go but so far with F/I on the VQ35.
