So you guys know that Torque is what pushes the car and its what you feel in the seat of your pants right? 158ftlbs aint gonna cut it.

The RX-8 might, hell lets just say doesn't, have the straightline speed of the other cars mentioned here but it does hold up pretty well in the twisties. The reviews/tests I've read on it were pretty surprising. Still though, I wouldn't buy even if it could bake cookies in the glovebox. I'll hold out until a model with balls appears.
