very nice pic... i personally like the rx-8

 

Really, it is too bad he got an RX-8.

Z>RX-8 in looks
Z>RX-8 in power
Z>RX-8 in sound
Z>RX-8 in heritage
Z>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RX-8

 

all the z>* are coming from Z owners......i agree with them all, but each one is entitled to their own likes, it will outhandle a lot of cars out there on the track

 

Sorry, but most of us give props to the S2000, even though we have a Z. On the other hand, I believe most of us think the RX-8 is just plain not worth it or all that "special".

 

Is your lip just unpainted, or painted flat black?

 

C'mon now...it has some redeeming qualities.

For starters, it's nimble and reasonably light. It's also RWD. I give the guy credit for being a little different. We need more RX-8's on the road anyway, we have enough Z's.

 

what lip is that? i see it alot, and dont understand why it looks like its got down syndrome. lol Is it supposed to fit like that?

 

In defense of the R car, the Z's turning is awful in comparison. And the interior of a Z is alot less impressive than an RX-8 too. Not to mention the R is ~8k under MSRP around here at the moment. Thats about it though.

 

but RX8 can fly.... it comes with rotary engine...
btw nice pictures

 

Fly??? 6MT came with 238hp... AT came with 215(ish)hp... Have you ever raced against one? I've dragged against one or two and destroyed them. As for the handling issue mentioned in the above posts... I've tracked against a LOT of them and they really aren't that great. On a positive note though, it is speculated that the RX-8 was a precursor to a new RX-7


As for the S2K comment... +1 all the way as long as the driver is talented! I've got a vid of one pulling a 360 in front of me in an S-Turn at 70+ mph... it's some funny stuff

 

Oh and great pics...
Welcome to the "Unpainted Lip Club"... no badges, jackets, or special handshakes though

 

I think he meant that as a joke?
Rotory technology in airplane engines?

 

That would make sense! Oooppss! Sorry!

I must admit though, the 2nd and 3rd gen RX-7's were certainly no slouch! Who knows... perhaps with some wings you could get one off the ground.

 

+1 ....

 

Yes. They buy factor mazda engines and adapt them to airplane use. Its a preferred choice in small planes.

 

my god.. take your lip off.. untill you get them painted please...

 

no
