Compared to the other cars that do the same as the RX-7, it's fast.

We've gone over this.

-Honda S2000 (240hp)
-Acura TL (225hp)
-Acura RL (225hp)
-Audi A6 (220hp)
-Audi S4 (250hp)
-BMW 330 (225hp)
-Cadillac CTS (220hp)
-Inifinity G35 (260hp)
-Jaguar S-type (240hp) This car is OVER 40,000 dollars
-Lexus ES300 (210hp) Now THIS is underpowered for the price
-Lexus IS3000 (215hp)
-Lincoln LS (232hp)
-Mercedes E-type (221hp)
-Saab 9-3 (210hp)
-VW Passat (190hp)


**ALL** of these cars are in the same price range. And most are 4 doors, like the RX-8.

Not to mention that it's lighter than about every one of those with the exceptions of the s2000, a minmalistic sports car, and the IS300 is probably right about the same weight, yet has less power.
