Shizzle, you can't call that farkstick a ********! You will get in trouble. And, as I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread, the RX8 is a good car, just not my cup of tea.

And, no matter what, the Rex is one unattractive piece of work, no matter what sort of rush it gives. And they sound like a lawn mower running on 1 cylinder!

As always

well sorry no offence here. But i felt the RX8 exhaust or Engine sounds like a Fruit Juice Blender machine.

I heard it on one of the sound clip.

Shows how much you guys know about the show. Lack of knowledge again, lol. Clarkson doesn’t even drive them around the track when doing the lap times. There’s only 1 professional driver that races them around the track for the lap time. These times are from 1 professional not 3 of them racing different cars. It’s always better for fairness to have 1 driver with the same skills than 3 drivers with different skills.

Y is everyone frowning, isnt this what a car forum is all about......car debate

The local mags judged the M3 CSL above the Z in their PCOTY, so i dont think nething can b derived just from a few pages in one specific magazine. The same can be said for comparing acceleration times, too many variables to make any definitive judgments. The truth is the M3 CSL is a quicker, more highly focused sports coupe than the Z. It costs alot more, and is aimed at a different buyer, so shouldnt really be compared

The RX8 on the other hand is an obvious rival. But i have no love for the RX8 either, driving it was like sitting in a washing machine, and my 2.0L 156 has more torque below 3grand.

Keep the debate open fellas
