a 98 RX-7. uhhh....does he live in Japan? The last rx7 we got here was a 95. RX-8 is also a slightly different class than teh 7. 4 doors, 4 seats, kinda heavier, less HP than teh Turbo FD. Its more for the rx7 fans that have grown up and need a more "adult" or family car. There are still rumors mazda is spreading about a possible comeback of the rx7 depending on how well teh rotary and 8 take off here.

And yes, once you press the pedal in a rotary you know its something unique. Its a totally different feel from any piston engine i've ever felt.

As for less power, they were down 9 HP or so from the factory claims. The factory took its numbers from a pre-production prototype. A minor change was made that dropped power a little. They are offering a buyback or 500 dollars and some extra maintenance for free. a pretty good deal for 9 horsepower.
