Was I the only one who saw that. About a 4 min expose' on the rx-8. They even took it out on the track at Laguna Seca and drifted it in the turns..

I have it on my computer also. I will stick it on the server and put it up here.

Yea, they were saying that the handling was improved over the seven and that the car is only 7 hp less that the TT rx-7.

Not bad for N/A. But also that the car had alot less torque.

I saw it. I am just not sure if I agree with them saying the handling is better then the 3rd Gen. Just really hard to believe since their is less Hp and the car is a little bit heavier.

Yea, the torque on the RX-8 is quite a bit less.. I just can't wait to see if they're really going to bring the RX-7 back.. Not that I have any money to buy one if they did come back.. but I would certainly find some way.
