I think so. It's not an engine swap though..

As long as chicks stare and drool, i don't care how slow the car is. I can carry three girls perfectly without them struggling to hop in the back. Unlike the guys driving the two door civics and integras. Besides, the 8 costs more than a fricken civic and is twice as smooth and ten times more sleek, which of course the girls love even more.

The 8 gets more looks than any other of these other $30,000 and under cars.
I got mine for $20,000 and everyone thinks it is new, and just loves it. Speed and handling are just bonus's.

um...since you're posting false information everywhere. i guess i'll reply to this one too. there is no possible way you can hang with an 05+ mustang gt. it will blow you out of the water uphill, downhill, backwards, upside down, rolling, dead stop, and even underwater. they run mid 13's pushing 260whp. the rx8 runs mid 14's pushing 180whp.

and heres the other thread i was referring to https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/dynod-number-124687/

edit: in fact i just realized. the 05+ mustang gt's make more power to the wheel than the rx-8 does to crank.

HAHAHAHAHA Thank you so much for giving me that laugh. I'm normally not one to flame someone but you take the cake for being a total moron. I will not debate hatches with you, but you are absolutely full of it when you say you beat a new Mustang GT with your mods. If somehow you actually DID, the driver was terrible. I would not brag about that because any mediocre driver would leave you in the dust in a straight line.

Oh, and street racing stories? For shame.

last weekend i was at the strip and there was an 06 mustang running 14.5 it was an auto. the convertibles are even slower so it is possible for an 8 to beat a 05+ mustang it just has to be an auto / convertible lol

Is he supposed to look up the part where the 350Z won car of the year over the RX-8 in Top Gear magazine?

13b RX7 and 13B RX8 -Why is the RX7 a straight-line racer and not the 8? Is it because of the twin-turbo thing? Flame suit on.

Most people don't want to run around in a OLD car. I like new stuff.
