You want to know if the 8 can beat a civic...why don't you try searching for the many RX 8 vs civic threads.

and I was being positive...I was positive that you should stop typing and start reading. You didn't even read my first reply to this thread. I said that people here would be biased. Yet you go and asking again what I thought of the 8.

The renesis has 2 rotors the R26B has 4 rotors...im not going to tell you everything its too long. Use the search and look for 26B in RX-8, it will tell you everything.

I know...but when I replied saying ppl here will be biased, you still asked me what I thought of the 8. Couldn't you deduce from my original reply what I thought of the car??? Did you even read what I wrote?

do you know what an 8 engine is? its a 2 rotor...just think twice as big

it should beat a civic

there are many sites that will give you instant gas mileage...shoot even the dealership will tell you...but since you don't have the time I get about 20mpg city/highway

the 8 isn't fast...shoot its a 1.3 liter, but it will outhandle most cars in the corners...thats about all you need to know.

if you want to go in a straight line, the car isn't for you, if you want a reasonable car with awesome handling and is very practicable

How hard is it to scour google.com for JUST FIVE MINUTES for published review articles on the RX-8, and compare test results to other cars you might be interested in? Do you not know how to research? Can you not retain information? If not, that's what pen and paper or, gasp, a word processor is for.

The education system is failing us.

And no, RX-8 is NOT the car for you. You need a Nissan Skyline GTR. It does everything.

RX-8 is very quick. It will run the same time as an m3.............On a windy mountain road with very few straight aways.

If you are straight line racing down a city block between red lights like an idiot, the performance will be significantly less amazing.

Do you plan to get an automatic or manual transmission?

No offense, but it's drivers like you that kill innocent drivers out on the road by fooling around. You may never get a speeding ticket or never get in an accident, but just think about that one time that may be... I mean think about it, you're operating a 3,000 lb piece of metal/aluminum. Why the hell would you fool around with something like that? That's like saying, me and my friends don't shoot guns at all, we just fool around with them.

My answer, get your mom to drive you around...

The RX-8 on the other hand... Just a simple little bolt on turbo and you're at 300+ WHP which will allow you to blow the doors off of just about anything on the street. In, short, go get yourself that manual RX-8!

I do not think anyone is actually trying to help him since most forums have something very novel... a search function? ...
