looked outside my office building and saw a dark blue 8 parked at the SE corner of Adelaide St. and Duncan (across from Crocodile Rock) all day today. Not only a nice ride but how did you score that private parking spot?

No Rx8 sighting, but left work early and decided to go to the car wash in the booth beside me was a Black R8. We got talking and it was the guys brother's car which he got 2 months ago, in the booth beside him was a guy with a 944 and he started saying that with all the mods he done to the 944 he could smoke the R8 on a track. I said have ever seen a R8 on a track with a good driver/well I have. And I retorted the R8 smoked every Porsche GT3 on the track let alone a 944, well I just laughed at the clown and walk away. The 944 was never a super car and never will be, I don't care if the dude spent a small fortune in mods.
I hope I never believe my RX-8 is a super car! You meet all kinds.

Speaking of an R8, i was driving into Tim Hortons drive-thru at Heartland towncentre last night and i randomly see a black R8 tucked away between two cars. Its one slick car!!

From my readings...the R8 don't really handle that well on the track...and I'm sure there are plenty of other options at that price...I would prefer a GTR...lolz

Yea, but a 944? Not one of Porsche great cars. I would prefer a Lotus Exige 260....

Well, the 944 may never have been a supercar or an exotic - and it's certainly long in the tooth compared to more modern vehicles - but it was definitely one of the best handling cars ever put on the road. I remember reading Jackie Stewarts accolades of the 944 and I know Jeremy Clarkson stated that the turbo version would be in his top ten list of best handling cars he's ever driven.

Not saying that it would necessarily beat an RX-8 on the track, just that I wouldn't totally dismiss the car.
