Have any of you watched Top Gear with the RX-8 in it? How they raced it was with the rear end out the entire time...it was great! When they were testing it, guy boasting about how easy it is to drive...the guy just sends the car into a casual 360 degree spin.

I was amazed at how easily the 8 drifted with a clutch kick, you've just got to have the revs up. And once you get it going, it's like a dream. I was really impressed, defintely more balanced than my FC. I could only dream of how awesome it would be with a stiffer chasis (the RX8 that is.)

???? The chassis is actually about 30% stiffer than the FD. All the softness is in the suspension. You're right on about the drifting though. The only gripe I have is the required speeds becuase of that long wheel base.
