Paul,

With all of the computer controls in your RX8, are you sure that they are 
not giving the engine some extra throttle to maintain idle
speed when you let out the clutch at 650RPM? The engine controller 
in my old Toyota appears to have some electronic compensation to
maintain idle speed when I turn on the A/C (not just a solenoid 
like they used in the old days). I've often wondered how
aggressively the electronic control units work to maintain 
idle speed. According to the service manual, there is actually no
mechanical idle speed adjustment in my Toyota. They must have 
a way of doing it through the computer interface.

Can't be sure but the RPM does not increase. It just idles down the road
without bucking and jerking :)
