you got that right. mazda squeezed everything they could out of this engine without going FI.. haha
i'd be all over the evo X, but the design just doesn't appeal to me.. sports cars should be low and flat and wide.. the evo's skinny and tall -_- plus rx8's are way more classy

Steven, don't waste your breath....rx8 people need to know that they brought a slow car from the get go..and to start dumping money like that $8-$12.k you can buy a fast car already worked...all this talk about hooking up my 8 ***** please, take a rx7's 13b or 20b drop it in a rx8. Now we will see some ******* speed....no diss to the rx8. I like those cars, i like the 8 stock.

Let's say I have 35k to play with on a car right now. I got my 8 for 21k. I can get an Evo X for 35k. That's where my comparison is.
It won't hold up in 2 years most likely, when the Evo X's are around 22-24K, but the point is made. For 35k, I will have a car that has 300+ whp, has 4 seats, is comfortable, drives well, and looks great. I don't see why I should sell this car and get something else more FI friendly/HP friendly.
Not to mention, there is no reason why I would need 400+ or 500+ hp. I would much rather lower the weight of this car, get a nice fat curve, and do track days and auto-x. So in essence, this car has the perfect amount of power and cost (remember, this car's value is lower than your average sports car) to reach exactly what I want. A nice drive-to-the-track-and-drive-home-after car.

btw jin, if you don't want a fast car, why would you put down 12k into the 8? no logic.. and also, the sti is VERY streetable and the evo x has a very nice ride

And yes, I know the Evo X is a very nice ride. My friend's gonna get it =p The STI.. ehhh, I've not liked how it feels. It's fast as hell though
And I can't wait to see those decals of yours. And mine's definitely the slowest right now, since I've got no mods of any mention lol.

haha even with the lack of mods, we're all probably around the same speed.. as long as you're not misfiring or something.
I do know i can walk Acod's car.. but i haven't had the pleasure of racing any other 8's
oh kenny! i saw a blue 8 on 107 today.. pulled up next to him, it was some middle aged asian dude.. didn't seem interested haha
