Mazda rx8
So got back from town (40 mile drive round trip) car ran great whole time. Park my car and came back out to go back to town 2 hours later. Instantly felt almost like E brake was on but it was just that big of a loss of power. Running slightly rough but not really horrid considering i have probably 50% power loss. Any ideas?
 
How many miles on the car?
Did it throw a CEL?

I'd probably start with the plugs/wires and if that doesn't help move onto the ignition coils. Those coils a bit infamous for making the car do just what you're describing. Next would be a clogged cat.
