When it was new I had people at gas stations thinkin it was a ferrari or something.
But yeah, I would like to have a RWD drive at some point in the future here. I love the tib, but theres only so much you can do with it.

I wouldn't be so sure about the number of ignorant people in our country.

Ok two things here, First no one not even my grandma would mistake a Tiburon for a Exotic, and second this kid must be dreaming if he is "considering" an Elise.
Now the 8 will hand most cars their asses on real roads (they have curves
), but an Elise is a whole different ballgame and anyone that says they have a "tricked out" car should never even be given the keys to either of these cars.
And again I do not have an 8, still waiting to see the next G coupe before a make the decision, but I have an FC and even it will waste a tiburon, but all this talk of how fast is the 8 is really bullshit. The car is an all arounder but excels in the curves and it can always be made faster at a moderate cost, lucky for you guys its not the estimated 10k for the whipple in development for the FX 45 or the 17k stroker kit.

Meh, 12.8 isn't that fast. Supras also have a 6 cylinder engine (provided, it's inline), and those things put down some seriously stupid fast times when modded.
Either way, drag racing is boring. If I'm going to spend my bucks, it's going to be at an autocross.

Is that a 3 rotor (Cosmo engine) turbo? I have yet to see our Renesis modded to pull that off.

That is crazy fast!
Here is a vid of an 8 driving through some turns and hills does a great job of getting the feel from the driver's seat.
