You can be conservative all you want but rx8 isn't the greatest as well as evo isn't the greatest either.
I bought the car not because I watched the fast and the furious and envied the movie stars, but because I loved the potential of the evo and its performance side of it more than the rx8.
And yes, I still think the rx8 is a fantastic car and there's no doubt about it.
Lastly, if you were so old, I would expect better feedbacks than thing that you spat out so immaturely. I just confirmed the age doesn't determine maturity.
I'm able to afford 36k car now. And I wish by the time I reach your age, I wish I will be able to afford much more expensive car, so that I don't have to put up with beings like you.

It looks like a bunch of other rx8 owners are against roaddemon's stupidity as well.
At your age, I would learn how to spell. It is acceleration, not accelleration.
And it is you are or you're, not your. ROFL period.
I'm sick and tired of this guy's stupidity. I don't like stupid people.
Moderator, please close this thread.
I've purchased the evo, I have explained why and I've had many useful discussions with the members excluding this clown.

Basically, If Paul Walker picked the evo then it's the best tuner car....end of story.
Rx-8 = Slow but you'll get dates
Evo = fast but you'll masterbate( more than usual)
lol I am soooo wise!!!!!!

Realistically, what is the upkeep on those cars?

as for stupidity, I was the one who wanted it closed long ago. Now it's your idea so your smart and I'm stupid? Grow up Evilbada. As for spelling, it's a forum, and your getting my message. Do you have to grope that low to redeem your ego.
I believe most rx8 owners are on the main page and far away from this thread. It was over after all the interesting tech info on the car ended. Nothing more to say.
As for you Mdaj. It's better to be badass then dumbass or tunerbadboy (which I am not). Some day you'll grow up to be just like me and realize I was right.
PS I still look damn good on that picture. No ugly cars for me.

Upkeep on the Evo is not like a Honda Civic but it's not as bad as I was expecting. So far all I've had to replace are the stock tires at about 14k miles. If the moron at the Mitsubishi dealership who rotated them at 10k miles would have warned me about the early signs of uneven wear he must have noticed, then I probably could have squeezed another 3-5k miles out of them. As it was I replaced them with some slightly cheaper, slighly wider, and equally sticky Falken Azeni 615's for about $800
Next on the list of routine maintenance is replacing the factory front Brembo brakepads. I haven't heard any squeeking yet, but apparently 20k miles is the magic number. New front pads cost about $150. The rear pads are good for another 50k miles. I've gone pretty easy on the clutch too, but as I get closer and closer to 400hp at the crank I'm sure I'll be replacing that too. Figure at least $1,200 in parts and labor if you go with a good aftermarket clutch. Fortunately Mitsubishi offered free 5 year scheduled maintenance on their '05 models so things like tire rotations and fluid checks and changes are taken care of. I think that's about it though. I haven't had any problems with the car yet...thank you Jesus...but it's not a bad idea to set a little money aside just in case.

When are you gonna finally grow up and replace that RX-8 with something more representative of your age like my beautiffuly refined luxury sedan? LOL. Those girls at Starbuck's aren't staring at your sporty RX-8 dude. They're laughing at the bald spot perched on the loose nut behind the wheel.

I'm a mortgage consultant and work for washington mutual while almost completing biology degree and starting on business degree at the unversity of maryland. I hardly picture myself as a badboy tuner. I just love cars. One thing I hate is an ignorant old man who has narrow vision. And if you have such class like you claim other than street racer badboy tuner like me according to you, you should have a better car than the rx8. Try mercedes SL55 amg, or porsche kind of thing. My boss drives a bentley continental GT coupe and he doesn't brag about how classy his ride is.
You would come out and brag how classy rx8 is compared to evo.
Just sad....

Yaw control would be cool but we really don't have the same type of narrow and uneven roads that Europe is famous for.

I've gone pretty easy on the clutch too, but as I get closer and closer to 400hp at the crank I'm sure I'll be replacing that too. Figure at least $1,200 in parts and labor if you go with a good aftermarket clutch. Fortunately Mitsubishi offered free 5 year scheduled maintenance on their '05 models so things like tire rotations and fluid checks and changes are taken care of. I think that's about it though. I haven't had any problems with the car yet...thank you Jesus...but it's not a bad idea to set a little money aside just in case.

Yea, let's do that.

As much as I like my evo, I'd like to hang around in rx8 forum and see how things are progressing because I love rx8s too.
So let's not argue like bunch of retards anymore
