its really nice! i went out and kinda hacked around for a few laps and i was passing people. the chassis is VERY stable it doesnt care what you do it just stays settled, you can even totally screw up the line and it doesnt care. the power is nice, and even better than that the red line is crazy high so on the track you're not shifting a lot. the brakes feel great and held up all day.



my complaints in order were:



1. eletronic throttle is good when you push the pedal down, but when you pull it up its like a switch, or if you liike the URT; Unentended Rotational System



2. the seats are bolstered for dom de louise, i had 2 feet of flat space to slide around in either direction before i hit bolster

that car is great. top gear said it had equal track times as the 350z and the M3. Impressive in my book

I really like my Rx8.. Just the fact that I'm driving a rotary powered vehivle every day of my life makes me happy.
