Default yes, another RX-8 thread

I'm just fucking in love with the new RX-8! Ive seen 2 of them on the road and i just cant get over how sweet they look. They have some pretty good numbers for the 26000 theyre asking for, and the paint is unbelievable. I saw a red one on the road today and the paint was like kinda pearlescent, kinda candy apple red, kinda bright mustang type red, and kinda sparkly (I don't know how to say that without sounding fruity). The lines of the car are so smooth and just genius. Do any of you guys share the same passion that I do?

I agree with Tom. I was under the impression that they would be faster. They do look pretty nice, but I feel like they took a lot of ideas from my car.

well the RX-8 still has fast 0-60 tested times.... lack of HP or not.. Hopefully the test cars werent rigged...... I'd still rock one as a daily driver, its basically an S2K with a hardtop and MAD seating room.. I'd certainly pimp it buy backs or not

D33Flat.. i think that as far as a race car would go yes.. But i couldnt carry around 5 people in my 350Z, and it makes less practical for a guy like me who is enroute to having 4 + children someday LOL
