I never would have thought you guys were such WRC fans. If you get a chance (And haven't done it already) go to rally Finland. Seeing and hearing those cars through crests at 180-200 Km/h is something worth doing.
I got to see rally catalunya, but tarmac events are not as spectacular as dirt events.
Cheers!

i just got out of one about 10 minutes ago smart ***, and i happened to rev it to 9k, i've also been graced with the privelage to drive an STi and it would wreck an rx8 in every aspect of performance. and the only fairly tale world im living in is real life.

sure buddy, you're a 15 year old and don't have a licence to drive. And you are crazy to even suggest that the 8 won't absolutely blow the tinny sti doors clean off. It's simple physics.

and you're an idiot who spends way too much time on the internet talking about cars and has no concept of reality of how real cars perform and have built a false informed shell of disallusionment on the performance of your car. LOOK AT TESTS, GO DRIVE ON THE STREET you will get KILLED by an STi.

HAHA. Ok fanboi. You know your rx8 can't do much stock vs stock against an STI because of the huge power difference, and equal handling, and you are just starting crap for amusement. Either way you are an idiot. It's time to get out of those training pants and grow up., or go drive an STI, so you can see what you are missing performance wise.

Stock for stock it would be pretty close in autox, put some hoosiers or victoracers on and the RX-8 gets the edge. AWD and turbo just isn't very good for autox, even just turbo or just AWD isn't so good until you start doing some mods.

Boooo, it was more fun when they thought he was being serious.
