Identifing my "Series"

From what I have found so far there are 3? different series of RX-8's.

Can some one tell me what identifies the series? I have used the search and I can not find anything.

No. There is NOTHING about Neons that applies to RX-8s.

I would think that Glock would be more of a danger to you than to him. Glock 45s have a tendancy to go boom and take hands with them. Go buy something good like an H&K :P

no. more like s1,s2,s3,s4,s5 rx7

gen 1 rx7 had 3 series. s1 was 79-80, s2 81-83, and s3 84-85. each had minor cosmetic changes etc. even though genI rx7s were 79-85

s4 and s5 were both second gen rx7. again. with minor cosmetic and mechanical changes

like the s2 rx8. not gen 2

I hate glocks, but calling any of them unreliable and bad is just horribly wrong. Ugly and bland, sure, but they will fire fine every time.

Glocks had a known issue in the 45 models where they would explode since the barrels were to thin. Im sure they eventually fixed it but a number of police officers were hurt from it.

Holy thread! I was paraphrasing the dialog into "neospeak" I have owned several neons across its 3 "generations". I sense a lot of neon hate, but I loved my SRT-4. I like glocks...but I keep my AK47 handy too .
