they are nice cars. and i highly doubt u could get a 14.5 out of them.. u'd have to get an awesome launch to get a 14.5 with only 96mph trap.. and even then a 96mph trap seems high.. I doubt the everyday driver could bust below a 15 out of one.

the Rx8 handles great, and stops awesome, nice interior and sporty looking..
"Fast" is relative, and im sure most people here who are talking about fast cars are slow compared to what i think is "fast".

The RX-8 is like Fords Mustang II - A disgrace!

should be a close race since the autos only have 193 hp and your car has 190
