i saw one the other day. Looks very nice. but not something i would drive untill i was like 25 and needed a reliable non fun car but still fun. Get what im sayin? A mix between a 4door altima and accord type and a e30 and mr2 and so on little fun cars. Btw he was going pretty fast and the car was (i joke not) totally silent!

well,... hmmm... FOX. Have you driven the new RX-8? I bet its fun and crazy to drive, at least the faster version. I've only driven the RX-7, but i remember it to be a fast and fun car....nothing close to a family car like the altima or accord. The RX-8 and RX-7 are sports cars bro.

So if the RX-8, to my understanding, is supposed to be a better handling and better performing car than the previous one, then it must be kick ass. I heard theyre coming out with a turboed version next year.

it's a sweet deal that they overrated the hp. everyone that bought one gets a check from mazda for $500 for apologizing!!!
