anyway, cars are toys... big boys toys... not material of attack on other people.
i think all cars are great in their own ways... every car was built to meet a certain purpose and market. learning to admire each of them for the purpose it was built is the real deal

In any case his comment may be flawed as the RX8 that underwent dyno-tuning may be out of tune or poorly maintained. The dynamometer could be wrongly calibrated as some operators assume an ambient condition, that is seldom monitored by most workshop (I've yet to know of a professional shop who does that apart from Ruf workshop in Tuas).
I remember some years ago the Mitsubishi Lancer MR was found to have its engine power grossly overstated. So it's possible that the same may apply to your beloved RX8. If so, you guys may instead of venting your angers cool down and group together to find a recourse (not discounting through legal channel).
I know you guys love your rides for its unique design and you guys are absolutely right. Still it's good to know the truth. One thing for sure, I intend to buy a RX8 and my reason for choosing it is not for its power. So, I think guys like hengheng, who thinks just of power are not qualified to own RX's, immho. It's heng that he will not buy one....

Of course not, unless you guys feel that there has been a misrepresentation on the part of MM, which you may wish to get an explanation from. Some could have been "persuaded" by the hp numbers to buy the RX8. In any case, I think this is more of a consumer issue. Guess you don't like my slightly rational approach. Am I stepping into a lion's liar? Sorry, if I have overstepped into your sacred territory.

Aiayh... why is everyone so sensitive. Its one person's veiw point. If he is a bitter, thats fine. The world consist of a varety of view points and we all can't have the same ones. To react even so dramatically, only reveals our our insecurities. If a car defines me, I am in trouble!!
Its no Aston Martin but the 8 a good car regardless of horsepower -- its not perfect but most importantly, I am happy with it, so who cares? Its about driving pleasure and not about horses.

Maybe u havent attended meetups. Maybe u havent see us in real persons. Most of those who commented here, i have seen them, and i noe when they type here, i can imagine wats their faces' reactions.

I suspect either the hengheng drive a wrx or some crap car. Just a guess.
Jealous? maybe but confirm this as*hole is so stupid that he cannot tell what is crank and WHP. And even though the 8 is slow, so what? Buy a dragster if you are interested in straight line speed.
We may not be the faster, but i am very very sure our car turns heads... HengHeng does not drive one so he dunno... Poor thing, can only dream, stare and heckle..
