Default Silly RX8......

So a guy that works in the shop next to mine has a friend w/ an '05 RX8 (6MT). My supervisor was talkin' to the guy, and he asked my sup if he worked w/ someone who had a silver 350Z. He was referring to me, of course, and my supervisor told him yeah. The guy then proceeds to tell him how his friend w/ the RX8 raced me out on the highway and "slaughtered" me. Now I don't if it's him, or the driver of the RX8, but somebody's full of ****. I gotta kick out of it, so the next time I see this red RX8 running around, I'm gonna destroy that damn thing. I mean an RX8, come on. That's like me saying I beat a Terminator in my Z. Even IF (for some crazy) it did happen, I prob still wouldn't tell anyone for fear of getting flamed, lol. Any of you guys had someone say **** like that about you???? I think it's pretty funny.....[&:]

If the RX8 was a two door, w/ a more sloping rear and was a hatch-back like the RX7, it'd look awesome. As it stands now, I think it's kinda chick-ish styling. And it is in definite need of more power.

Just don't race a RX8 in the twisties.. it'll eat up me, you and the 350, lol. and we all know the 350 platform has really good suspension.
