Mazda also builds the most balanced cars, and the RX8 is undoubtedly the most balanced car out right now (thanks to 13b). Thats why its a favorite for drifting or tracking. But if you actually raced your car you would know its slow. Stop magazine/internet racing, and face the fact that you car is slow. Anyone can go 70 on an offramp, I can do that in my Hyundai.
You are a retard. How many more BS posts slamming the RX-8 are you going to make? Take your troll-*** to a Hyundai board somewhere...

Then you go on to say that the engine allowed for a "dynamically new looking car." WTF kind of logic is this? The engine has absolutely nothing to do with the styling or "look" of a car.
Then you contradict yourself in saying the car is the most balanced on the road, and that's why it's a favorite for "drifting or tracking," and go on to say that if we actually "raced" our cars we'd know they're slow. I think you're slow. In the head Hyundai man. That statement makes absoutely no sense. If they were a favorite, why would they be slow around a track? Tell you what Top Gear got 1 minute 31.8 seconds around their track in not only the RX-8, but also in the M3. Guess that's a slow car too eh smart guy?
Just remember that no matter what car and how fast it is, there's something else out there, that when put into context against your car will make you look like you're slow too. Even Viper's have been humbled.
Come back when you've grown a brain.

So I was in traffic today riding alongside of a Dodge Caravan with a gigantic graphic and the word "sport" on the side. Clearly any vehicle with the word sport in its model designation is high performance. His lane was going a little faster than mine so I never did catch up to him.
