This a 2004 Mazda RX-8 and today we're comparing it to my 2022 Toyota GR86. These cars are more similar than different, if you look at the fact they're both front-engine rear-wheel layouts, have similar horsepower, and are right around the same weight. The GR86 is a great baseline and we're all very familiar with my base trim on this channel, if you're new, check out the links below. But let's see how the Mazda RX-8 compares and let me know what you think in the comments below!
