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.

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.
