I read in a comapro that the computer controls the throttle anyways up until like 3rd or something because there is way too much power for FWD already. So no point in adding power until the suspension is stiffened and the tire compound softened. Also, I won't believe its "faster" until it gets a better lap time than an RX-8. I don't think anyone here bought the 8 because it drags well

Lap time where? On what Track? under what conditions? Even Lap Times aren't a true measure, unless it's The Stig doing the driving...same course, same driver, same conditions. Of course, one car being faster on ONE track doesn't mean it'll be faster on EVERY track. But I'm just 16 years old, what do I know?

dmp, what makes you sound 16 is your references to name calling, panties and taking things up the ***. All things that may describe a weekend for you, but nonetheless makes you sound juvenile.

But ok tough guy, you want me to refute your comments again. Geez, who am I to argue with a guy who believes “4MPH and .3 seconds is HUGE DUDE!” Well it ain’t, not when the vast majority of people who actually drag their cars struggle to come anywhere close to what their cars are capable of. 10MPH and over differences like a C6s, GTO, EVO, STI are closer to your description of HUGE. Even still, what word would you use to describe my bike that traps at over 140MPH? Can YOU find a better word at www.hop.com? You can? That’s nice, I knew you can.

I like many cars, my posts have praised G35’s, BMW’s, Mustang’s, Vette’s, S2000’s, 350’s, Austin Healys, Mini’s, air cooled 911’s, even Citroens I think. But yeah I’m a RX8 fan too, and I’ll always get a kick out of picking on those who dismiss the 8 because it doesn’t do 1 thing well. Too much of that negative **** on here.

Otherwise, I’m through with you bud. Try to move on.

….if you still need clarification, what I’m trying to convey is that there are countless numbers of ***** on here starting threads stating “cheaper car X is way faster than your RX8.” Are they expecting RX8 owners everywhere will fall off their chairs in disbelief? “Dang Marge, could da’t be true?”

ALL OF US could have bought faster cars for less money. MOST OF US know that. So what’s the point in these threads, other then letting the mouth-breathers think they have a leg up on anybody.

Your quote;



It seems like you’re the one having doubts bud!
Does that make you the **** that gets his panties in a wad every time someone mentions another car being faster?

Every time one of these posts pops up you're in it defending the RX-8 like it's your first born and making excuses why it's OK that the RX-8 isn't as fast. How the RX-8 can take them on a track, blah blah blah. 5mph trap speed is a big difference, ******* deal with it already.
