RX8's run low 14's stock at the track all day long and run mid 5's 0-60, about the same as a stock mustang. If your car is a "POS" than one would assume its not running well, hence it was safe to say the RX8 shoulda had u if all other things were equal. Im not a ricer by any means, but I watched a Car and Driver show when they flogged one of those, and I was impressed. </P>


Oh, and I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night...</P><edited><editID>mdvaldosta</editID><editDate>37868.987025463</editDate></edited>

Well, my friend has an rx-8, and I went for a ride with him on some twisty backroads. If you see one there, try and take him. Unless you have some serious suspension work, you will get left quick.

the rx7s were bad to the bone, but the rx8 is nothing remotely impressive as the the rx7 before moving to louisville, i watched a couple run in gulfport and i saw a 14.95 and a 15.23 out of two six speeds. nice cars, bad power to weight ratio. now that itsa 2+2, i don't even think it holds a candle to the previous model.. the previous rx7 was a beautiful car

Supposedly from what im hearing, they are coming out with a turboed rx-8 in the near future. Im not sure if my info is accurate, but thats what i heard on some import forums. im sure a turboed rx-8 should be quicker then a rx-7. Besides that the rx-8 arent anything to be impressed about performance wise. But they are great looking and well designed cars.</P>
