Spotted a VR in front of Half Price Books in Lewisville yesterday afternoon. Strakes, fuel door, accents, plate: fun rx8. Left a note to come by here and say hello. We'll see if they do.

those little windows in the back however help when your going 150 to correct your trajectory AND vent out the heat generated in the cabin from all the rabid frothing at the mouth that occurs...

pfft...the downforce from the sunroof slows you down on top of adding weight to the car...

i don't know, i used to think tat too, till i realize how hard "turning left" is when you are competing with with soo many other people who are also just turning left.
so much so that u gota account for road temperature, debries, drafting, ideal line, angle of "drift" since tires actually reach maximum grip when it is slightly at an angle. (Nascar when turning kinda slides(4 wheel drift if u will)) all the while doing 200+ mph

Cruised with a WB on Hardy Toll Road yesterday afternoon. I thought you said your name was Mike, but not sure. Nice ride. I want a closer look at the roll cage you've got.

Info on your drop? Mine isn't low enough for my tastes in the front, but is just right in the back.
Exhaust is no longer 95dB, had a different system put on today, I couldn't really hear your screenname LOL. I was driving in from Dallas.
If I didn't have family coming in town tomorrow, I would try and bring my car out to the meet tomorrow.

I am also sitting on Koni yellows + S-Techs. I know that my rear was about as low as yours, but the rake on yours is better. I feel like my car has more wheel gap over the front tires than the rears, whereas, yours looked like it was supposed to.
Just tossed my RPF1's back on, makes me happy
I'm surprised you say that, It's a straight pipe from the cat rearwards. With a 90* turn towards the passenger side, then a turn-down behind the rear right tire. Might have been quiet because it was shooting it at the ground/on the passenger side.
Now it's got a flowmaster after the elbow and a tip exiting passenger exhaust outlet. Looks better, quiet as stock in-car, no droning, only backfires sometimes as opposed to all of the time. Girlfriend is pleased [as always
