okay, but what if they buy the rx8 as a daily driver? Not everyone buys the rx8 as a dd, etc. Some people prefer an auto, and thats okay. Btw, theres plenty of sports cars that are auto trans, ie f430, gtr, veyron, gti, etc. I guess all those arent sports cars right?

I took the liberty of browsing through your 26 other posts you made during your short tenure here, and you seem to be a pretty sensitive dude, 'cause you've jumped at a lot of throats so far for people "bashing you." Why don't you turn it down a bit and listen to what people are saying and just ignore the idiots? You need a tougher skin on this forum.
Also, check your coolant level.

Power!!
sounds like a very clogged air filter...........
cleaning your MAF sensor might help too
my car idled very rough in the morning too and I cleaned the MAF sensor and changed air filter and the problem went away
as for dying on you, idk, never had the problem
take it to the dealer, ask them for all the recalls ALL OF THEM, do a compression test
redline your car daily, the 04 ATs have a lower redline, so it is VERY IMPORTANT that you redline it daily
good luck

Do you have an aftermarket intake? that could be causing the rough idle or if the person before you has removed any of the two screens in the intake tube before your Mass Airflow Sensor.

(some 911s do have automatics though, we can thank Americans and lazy rich people for that).
But hey, I don't mind if you want a goodlooking car and want an auto for it, but I still think it's a waste of an RX-8, because if you want to drive spirited you need manual.

You are right, the GTI is not a sports car. The Veyron is a supercar and hasn't got automatic. It has a sequential manual 7 speed gearbox (with paddle shifters which probably confuses you). I don't know the specifics of the F430, but probably the same there. Get your facts straight.

. I agree with you, I think sports car SHOULD have a manual, BBUUUTTT an automatic wont mystically transform a once sought sports car into a 'normal car'. Theres a lot more to a car than the transmission, thats my point. * Now, Im sick of being dramatic about it, agree to disagree
