One of my boys was promoting the RX8 on South Beach all last week... so I went and took some pics. Then I drove up to Boca Raton to drop it off to go to New Orleans on Monday. Heres a bunch of pics, and a short vid. We raced... it disappointed me how slow it was. Gave it over a car length head start, shifting at 6500 rpm and I still passed the redlining RX8 like it was standing still. Well enjoy.
waysho RX8 with FD pics |
Nice pics. What about the interior?
I still think the FD looks better. |

Waysho,
Thanks for the pics. And, welcome! Hmmm let's see, not as nice looking, not as fast, yep I'm gonna go out and drop 40k on one . NOT! I don't EVEN like that extra door thing. Tom |
I really like those, I saw one dressed in black at the autoshow. It can't compare to an FD, but everything else that is out, its way better imo.
|
I love the passenger bucket seats.
And I'm sure the engine will be so simple once emissions is removed... |
|
Hate the rear doors and style of the rear glass. Hate the front fenders, the wheels suck too, but the interior is killer.

A warning of linking to that site would be nice in the future, lol
Perhaps some daytime pics would have been nicer. And you guys need to stop comparing buying a brand new car with a full warranty and being used as a daily driver to buying a 10 year old FD, they arent in the same catagory. Would you let your wife or GF drive a FD as a daily driver? The car buying public isnt going to drop $15000 on a used FD just so they can put a new engine in it within a year. A RX-8 handles really good, and its attractive, it has somewhat of a backseat while they may not be THAT usefull, it does keep the ******* insurance companies from jacking the insurance up because its a 2 seater, I should know my dad had a 2+2 300ZX and the insurance was $600 cheaper then the 2 seater. It also has traction control, I know I would feel comfortable buying that car for everyday use, and would have no problem buying my GF one either. |
I think its kinda ugly compared to the FD. Sits way too high off the ground
