#4 was a Nordic cloth pack, #5 was a Yellow cloth pack, #6 was a Red leather pack, #7 was a Winning Blue leather pack, #8 was a Black leather pack, #9 was a Titanium leather pack and #10 was a Yellow leather pack.
Of the first ten, all except the number three Titanium auto were six speed models.

weight spoils everything on a track. handling, lost of power, etc....
but in everyday use, i guess there is no difference

Okayz guys.
I have selected two rx8s......... leather pack vs the cloth pack.
So two drivers.. their best times were:
TimTam = 1:17.3680 LEATHER PACK
Timbo = 1:17.7650 CLOTH PACK
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmzzzzz and Timtam doesnt have a short shifter? and Timbo does.........
Yet Timtam with extra 16.5kilos and I think he has a spoiler.. and timbo doesnt, and timbo has the short shifter... yet Timtam performed better??

TimTam is a better driver than me....(possibly got the red mist going? 
)...who benefited from an extra session on the track (I had some organising to do 
)... and who had the stock 040's compared to my s/h Yokos

Ooohh, this is getting fun!
Forget about the pov pack owners Kall - they have an inferiority complex. The thing that is going to make the most difference on most tracks is the sack of blood, bone and tissue sitting in the driver's seat.
And for 99% of the rest of our driving time, I sure do enjoy those leather seats, xenon lights, Bose stereo, alloy pedals, etc, etc.

One of the most amazing things about this forum is that, by the time they get to the second or third page, threads are never about what they are about. Short attention spans must be very interesting things to have.

I wouldnt call it a short attention span. Perhaps pure boredom
