Sigh!



So not only do I have to convince my wife that I NEED to spend AUS$57,000 on a new RX-8, but also have to spend another $10K on a turbo conversion...

Actually both are out



The did a comparison on the RX8 turboed, and the RX8 supercharged/compressor and the Turboed won all around. Granted the Blitz compressor was just installed, but they took the pepsi challenge.



Here is MY other pic haha
