guys....you know the outcome of the review.
"RX-8 is long in the tooth. Great handling car. Bad on gas. Quirky suicide doors. Needs another 100hp to be perfect."
There, I just helped save C&D a bunch of $$$. I give you permission to use the above rehash conclusions.

Well, I hadn't spoken up till now, just in case it didn't work out. But I had the opportunity to be a part of this, this last weekend (I actually just got home). It was an awesome time. I worked hard to try and represent the RX-8 community well - tried to get my car in tip top shape (which was actually just doing all my 30,000 mile maintenance so I had new plugs, fresh oil, new brake pads and rotors, coils, plug wires, fresh tranny fluid dif fluid, and a coolant flush all within the last 5k miles or so) and they seemed to like my car so we'll all just have to wait and see how things stack up when the article comes out.
C&D was awesome - I'd recommend anyone who ever has an opportunity like this, take it - it was way cool.

Yeah I believe the article will show up sometime this fall (usually takes that much time to pull it all together I guess). I think that since the cars are pretty much the same from 04-08 they were ok with an 05 despite it not being perfectly ideal. Also, it seemed I was among the few really stock cars available that was able to make it out and since I had such low miles they felt it would be a fair example despite the different model year.
Anyway, I am really excited to see the article.
