Please disregard the hecklers in the audience. Most don't understand the Rotary anyway.
It has modifying potential. My 4 port AT has over 183 RWHP.
That's more than some of the 6 speed 6 ports out there.
It ran a 15.3 in the 1/4 mile with me feathering the throttle at the start and mid way down the track. Bad tune at the time.
So it's not slow except when it's stock.

Damn that's one fast ****! I'm guessing it has much more torque than the 6 ports.
You should do another run and see what happens. If you can burn first gear I'd be surprised, heck most cars cant even do that!

I do not need to be told nor anyone else for that matter that the RX8 AT is any less of a car then the MT.
I do not need someone telling me I should learn how to drive a stick either. I drove my first MT car when I was seven years old. That was in 1966. Do you think I might know how to drive a Manual by now?
I drive an AT. I like the car. I shall continue to do my best to improve the performance of it so when you pull up next to me and go Haha it's just an AT.
Surprise.
I'll be looking for you in Mesa.

I knew this thread would go in this direction eventually which is why I decided not to take it seriously. To the OP - if you want an AT then buy an AT. If you want to drag race an rx8 your looking at the wrong car unless your ready to spend thousands upon thousands.
The AT's still handle great and are quick enough. You can (and will) have fun with one but don't expect 300hp. Easy if I were you I wouldn't even waste my time responding to such ignorance.

Everybody mods the 6 speed. Nobody mods the AT. I like working on the challenging stuff myself.
Any time you want to go for a ride PM me and we could meet some place.
