rx8 lacking more than just power?

As we are all eagerly awaiting the HUGE power boost from the house of Hymee,
i was thinking the other day as a watched a hotted up rx3 going brrrp brrrp brrrp brrrp brrrrrrrrrr......(lapping the block of course), that the increase in horsepower isn't the only thing that is missing. It is the hair on the chest, full on wog power street cred. :D
Will any sc or tc car have that kind of road presence?
Maybe we need a switch for that!

Hmm, this dialect thing has been going on since the 1920's when black jazz musos started their slang to shut out the white wannabees. Every time the white guys would cotton on, the black guys would think up something new. So here we are 80 years later and nothing's changed. At the risk of getting flamed to a crisp, dare I say that it is essentially fill words used by people who really don't have much to say? I think there is nothing cooler than someone who can use straight English with a great vocabulary.

Hear, hear ... and each over-tarted 8 I see, even if it is only a picture of a show car, brings me one day closer to moving on to another vehicle choice.

I'm sorry but I don't sense much in common with a "braap braap" RX-3

Unfortunately it doesn't matter what car you buy, there will always be someone out there that will "over customise" the same car, making you want to disassociate yourself with them as much as possible.

Ever seen one modern car you would own that hasn't been modified by the full sick crowd........... very unlikely.
