And yeah, mazdausa.com now says 238 hp for the 6-speed and 197 hp for the automatic. You gotta give it to them for handling it so quickly as opposed to the few months that it took for the Miata when it had this problem or the even longer time it took for Ford to deal with the SVT Cobra. This took what, like a week tops?

Oh, and it is entirely possible that the motors are simply down on power because they have a long break-in period. Supposedly the tolerances are a lot tighter than on the old 13b and they're designed to take a long time for the apex seals to fully seat against the rotor housings. I'd like to see a dyno of an RX-8 with say 10,000 or so miles on it, once someone actually puts that kind of mileage on one.
