Guys, where's a place where I can just print off a bunch of writing on the RX-8? For reading? ( Must be on one page, I don't really want to print off 30 seperate pages)

If you do it for everybody, there's no problem by me

I'm sure I'll earn it back rather quickly :D

Best bet is the Road and Track article, it's four separate pages but gives you probably the best overview of the car and its capabilities.

Here's the link.

Sadly no... that's why we all sit (well at least I do *grin*) on this board waiting for somebody to spill the beans on the latest and greatest news about the RX-8.

I'm not expecting anything spectacular until January though, after the car hits the Detroit Auto Show. Hopefully boowana in all his wisdom is right and then we will have car mags and all them reviewing this car soon afterwards.

And we'll get a definate spec sheet, color sheet, and better media for the car.

I think I should just get one of those RX's in those spy shots, but throw the guy driving it out. Then just rip into the sunset. They won't be able to catch me, the yellow of the car will blend right in!

Don't steal the Yellow one from the shows... I hear it's pretty engine free!

That really emphasizes the FORD influence.

F - fast
O - only
R - rolling
D - downhill

:D

Somehow I don't think it would be a good idea to be making fun of ford on a mazda forum. Just a thought.

Yeah, then you could put an overbored LT1 in there. That would be really sweet!









NOT!

Next step down is probably an RSX or an impreza depending on your taste. If you could find a 2002 WRX right now I'm sure you could get a fantastic deal on it (think around $22k)

What do you guys think of...
1. 1997 Ford Probe GT
2. 1997 Eagle Talon ASi AWD
3. 2002 Acura RSX Type S
4. 2003 Dodge Dakota R/T (I want an actual opinion, not put downs, please!)
5. 1999 Honda S2000
6. 1995 Lexus SC 300
7. 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V
8. 2003 Nissan 350Z
9. 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX
10. 1992 Toyota Supra Turbo
Hey Guys, these cars are the motley crew, and many of them are in totally different price catagories, and thats okay. Just speak your mind, for the next opinion is always more important than the last!
