smooth in my opinion

 

what body kit is that? looks badass

 

i have no idea. thats one reason y i posted it, maybe someone knows.

 

thats just a body kit. you can do it to your rx8.

also, wrong place for body kits. there is a section dedicated to this, and the people that frequent it are quite knowledgeable.

 

I wish I could remember where it's from. MS version/concept or some such thing, but I don't know if that kit is even mass produced. There's a thread somewhere that has it, but damned if I can recall . . . media section somewheres

 

Isn't that the kit for the never produced MS RX8?

 

Mazdaspeed Version 2, Accolade reproduced the fenders and front bumper, but I've heard there are fitment issues.

 

gay

 

I love those fenders.

 

DING DING DING, 10 points for this man! That was the 'MS version 2' kit that we never saw in production.

I've seen pics of the Accolade replica...

 

Actually VR is the best color.

 

but black is the fastest. We all know that...

 

terrible fitment. but if u love the look it may be worth the hassle

 

Basic Black? lol never

 

I like the look...very slick.

 

ahem, you mean silver

 

^-----nope its red. im tellin u

 

I have a black 8, but if you are scientifically-minded, hear me out.

An RX-8 heading towards you at a high rate of speed will have its light-waves compressed, due to the Doppler effect. That means that a blue RX-8 will appear to have more of this effect; so if it is heading towards you, a blue RX-8 will seem fastest.
On the contrary, though, once the car is heading away from you the waves are expanded, meaning it gets 'redshifted', and a Victory Red RX-8 will seem to be moving away faster.

Therefore, a Black RX-8 wins because it is faster coming towards you than a Victory Red one, and faster zooming away than a blue one.

 

 

Did you guys see this?

sorry if its old I havent been on the site in a bit

Awesome body kit, I'd love to have it..

Oh, and mikesol wins the Internet!

 

Your reason has no place on this forum.

 

+1

the silver 8 doesnt absorb light or heat, therefore it doesnt expand like black does, in turn, it has less wind resistance

 

Actually, black would do better in the comparison versus silver as well.

Black will absorb incoming light particles, whereas silver reflects them.

That means that:
- sunlight from the rear will push the black car forward, but have no effect on the silver
- sunlight from the front will slow the black car down, but the amount of exposed painted area right on the front is negligible and much of it is the same colour regardless of the colour of the car
- sunlight from above will push down on the black car, improving its grip on the road and therefore reducing 0-60 times as well as improving handling much the same way a spoiler would

So the only advantage silver has here is that if you're driving off into the sunset, the silver car won't be slowed down as much. But that's okay - those of us driving the black cars don't mind taking one last sweet look back at the wives we're driving away from!
