Default So Confused...

I had a 00 Honda Civic DX HB stock, and everyone and their brother wanted to give me a run. So, I trade the Civic for my RX8 and it is like I am invisible. I don't get it.

because people KNOW rx8's are slow. they dont need a run to find that out. the civic actually COULD be fast.

RX8's look fast, people dont like to lose. Thats why Honda's get tried so much, they are the proverbial "Baby Seal"

You drive a 00 Honda Civic...go figure. Do you have a 100 HP adding sticker set on it too. "COULD BE FAST" well, anything can be fast with enough money. I just couldnt justify dumping cash into a HONDA.

RX8's are decent cars. Most people dont exactly know what a rx8 is capable of so they dont know if they would win or not. Granted they are some of the slower rotaries. But get a porting job done to it and you will have a pretty fast car that handles well.
