Then I would assume from this you have made quite a few mods since the dyno chart posted on your site.
If not, then he is correct about the more than doubling your HP/TQ.

*oh and the rx-8 is ugly IMO, and I really did like the rx-7's too.

i see we have a lack of DRIVERS here

just a bunch of people riding on big motors hoping they NEVER have to attack a switchback in their no-handling rolling brick on wheels

but meh, opinions are like assholes, we all have one, so whatever, I'll take a corner eating RX-8 over a Mustang anyday

Yes, you are correct, the topic at hand is the RX-8. Is the car a slow POS? I don't know since I have never driven one. But that is the topic now isn't it?

.......blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ..........

But I digress, this thread IS about the RX-8 and it's shittiness, or lack there of, not the Mustang Cobra or the BMW M3. So I guess now it is back to the topic at hand........
Good! I'm glad you agree!

About your suspension, I really don't care how it compares to the GT Mustang. I believe you were the one who insinuated that you could out maneuver me (which could never happen BTW
Originally posted by jmciver So, pray tell, what do you drive? And if it is fast (or so you may think) can it go fast in something other than a straight line?
Wha, huh? Who insinuated what?

Even if you sprayed a 300 shot on top of your dyno posted you still would have a bit to go.

You should consider removing the computer, radar detector, laser jammer, tire presure sensor, DVD, floppy, zip disk, mouse touch pad, stereo, blender, oven, kitchen sink, blow up doll for some weight reduction. This could be your newest go fast mod.

Now go park your yuppyness in the garage and STFU.

Oh and I still think that the RX8 is hideous ugly & slow!

LOL.......I like that one, haven't heard it in a while. But no need to get snippy .

Look, I have nothing against you or your car. Unlike most of the people on this board, it seems like you have a legitimately fast car, one that would most definitely beat me on the drag strip (if it can't, then something is seriously wrong with the driver ....). Now throw in some twisties.......but we won't go there.

But there is one other thing that we do agree on, maneuverability or not, I am not too fond of the RX-8 body style either .

And BTW, you really shouldn't let something like this (which is really pointless) spin you up like that .

Oh absolutely not, this board serves it's purpose well, it's always available with entertaining people to blow of steam!
