Who cares? One person's opinion means jack **** to me and everyone else. The only "chick's cars" are pink cars.

Thats a forum of immature kids--I wouldn't waste my time in responding to them. They are only 0-60 spec readers anyway. I actually feel less intelligent for reading the comments.

ah, the misinformed public. 'Rotaries blow up.' Yes, they do... if you take a twin-turbo to one like a machete!!! People got G-R-E-E-D-Y. Ahem, 3 moving parts...

The RX-7 is faster. Yes, by about 15-25 horsepower. Can you say, twin-turbo?

RX-8=26k-34k. NO TURBO.
RX-7=(brand new)=36k-42k. TURBO.... lets think for a second. Oh wait, that was too long. I guess you need a break to reassemble your pride

RX-8 mileage=17-23
RX-7 mileage=12-15

Cant wait to post !!!!!

There are going to be negative things said about our cars and there is nothing we can do to stop it. The mods don't support going to these sites/forums and start a war on who's dick is bigger. Besides, these are teenagers that believe the RX-8 is a successor to the RX-7...enough said.

Not haters - ignorant and immature. I have not met a SINGLE mature driver who bashes other cars, makes, etc. Id Est, EVERY driver I know worth his salt enjoys cars.

I laughed out loud when I read this, not true but pretty funny :p

"its a great car, they get like 32 miles per quart of oil."

If everyone posted the links they find where the RX-8 gets bashed those posts would dominate these forums. In general many car communities are pretty disappointed in the RX-8, the history of the rotary still places a stigma on the RX-8, as does the performance of the FD. If these turbo kits end up being somewhat reliable, and if Mazda impresses with the Mazdaspeed version this will change, but for now get used to it or don't read other car forums.

It is a chick car...my wife has one :D

I would not worry about what people say. It may not be the fastest 0-60 but it is quick enough, looks great and is fun to drive. If you are one of those guys that HAS to be the fastest car light to light that's another story but to tell you truth I am more likely to get a ticket in this car than my 300+hp/tq mustang.... it's just too easy to throw around the back roads and not realize how fast you are going.

That was just sad! In addition to being completely clueless about the RX-8, their English and spelling skills are dreadful! Our education system must be in worse shape than I thought!
