Ok, I think that anyone else that starts a post about which is quicker, RX8 or..... anything should be beat and baned. None of the three you mentioned were designed to drag. They were ment to go down a twisty bit of road as fast as possible. If you want pure 0-60 and 1/4 mile, get a GTO.

I was driving an S2000 when I bought my 8. I came VERY close to buying a realy clean used 05 STI earlier this year (I drove it about daily for a month). I didn't buy the STI becouse I realized I would hardly drive it once I got over the newness of it. I would spend all my time in my 8. In my opinion, the 8 is just as (if not more) fun, alot more comfortable, and a hell of alot better looking. I do miss the convertable at rare times. But that is what I have my motorcycle for.

Cheers

There are many "inside jokes" on this forum. More than any that I have ever participated in. Not a great user-friendly environment, especially not for the so-called "Noobs". Noobs...thats a funny term...and here it applies to anyone new to RX8's, but also those not on the inside line of the clever sarcastic elite. As far as being car-savvy I can guess who the real noobs are.

Not directed at mwc, but just an observation based on his comments and those of others.

well,
From 0 - 50,000 miles, the wrx sucks. So the rx8 and s2000 win that one.
from 0 - people think you are gay . . . s2000 hands down.

once the wrx is in the shop, and the s2000 owner is getting therapy . . ..

RX8 is the fastest

Yep. And that's when he does his best work.

The chances are you wouldn't have done it if Ike didn't do it. Be a leader buddy!

Like I said, you wouldn't have done it if Ike didn't do it. Doesn't have to pertain to this thread. I mean come on now, where else would you get that useless "crossfire" statement from? It has nothing to do with any of the 3 stated cars in the thread topic!

The "crossfire" was a subtextual option. You just had to know how to look for it.

You mentioned a car that had nothing to do with the thread. It was POINTLESS! Get over the fact that you're riding on Ike's back just for the ride. Like you didn't know he would say something. Please man, stay on topic of the thread and these conversations wouldn't happen.

C'mon now this isn't really about Ike at all. I think we all know what this is really about, don't we?

swoope said xxxxxfire before ike did, so swoope can't be riding ike's back if swoope said it first.

I came into this thread because I wanted to see what the thread starter was saying and I wouldn't have said anything at all in this thread. But I came across you and I. So basically I am pointing you and ike out for doing something pointless. THAT was my point of saying something in here. Meaning if you wouldn't have said anything towards a Crossfire that was pointless for this thread, I wouldn't have said anything.

Can you comprehend that?

I don't up with things randomly out of my *** to say in threads, like you and I did/do.

Think about it a little, maybe it will sink in.
