Damn, that guy knows nothing about the RX-8. He said it would outrun a 350z and infinity G37. He even said it was one of the fastes production cars ever made Now I can't beleive anything else this guy ever says. Bad info

 

You beat me to it. Wouldn't it be nice if that were true....

 

Yea, I ran to be the first

 

omg...this guy is a moron....

 

By like...30 seconds. I paused to eat my reeses cup.

 

I'm watching it right now. I've watched all of the episodes, he is fed a lot of bad info.

An RX-8 could outrun a 350Z and G37....on the worlds tightest track!

It's cool they found a NSU to drive

 

he said the RX8 engine was "perfect"

 

I love the Mark IV Corvette.

"GM discovered that while the Rotary made great power, it was a gas hog..."

Yeah, not exactly the best car for 1974

 

H said the engine was efficiant, well I guess 238hp from 1.3 l is but not 16mpg from 1.3L

 

Haha that was the most optimistic review of the 8 I ever saw.. and the one thing he didn't like were the suicide doors

 

There is going to be alot of talk on the 350Z and G37 forums.

 

i like how he didnt say anything about how bad the gas is and hasnt improved at all since it was first introduced in 1957.. and "its the fastest sports car" lol.. what is he smoking. lol.. but he is right about the back seat and rear doors.. sport cars dont need them but it is nice once in a while.. Even on top of that he said it has a PERFECT WANKEL in it. lol.. i guess he doesnt know that they like to blow up.

 

not a word about great handling, or wonderful sound from engine ,or crappy mpg

i dont think he drove it more than 5 minutes , just long enough to film

FAIL

 

who the hell wrote his script?

 

^ who ever wrote it.. sucks...

 

That was the worst script ever!!!! no rx7? and there was an rx1 and that wasnt it! grrrrr!

 

funny, I didn't see a damn thing tonight.

 

i thought for sure they would have an FD on there.. but no. that kinda sucked.

 

LOL, that was the funniest **** I've ever seen. I had to keep looking at the car to make sure he was talking about an RX-8. He could at least act like he knew anything about the car or any cars for that matter. That's the last time I watch that show. lol

 

Yea. . . I made sure to DVR this.

I agree. There is a reason most of us have probably never heard of this show before. It was stupid. That guy didn't know anything about reviewing cars. It seemed like this guy never even read a car and driver article in his life.

Don't get my wrong. I love my 8. But I know it has short comings. Its not "fast" like a 350Z - meaning in a straight line - and if the rotary is so perfect.... why is the rx8 the only car in production with one? If it were that much better, someone else would try one.

It almost makes me feel like we're the idiots that want so much to be different that we have an engine that is cool, but not nearly the best option for the type of car we want to drive.

 

Also - Did the host remind anyone else of Flava Flav?


"Yeeaaaaa Boooyyyyyy!"


That show sucked. I'll stick with top gear on BBC

 

??? No?

 

Random. Kinda neat to see them use a 09. And the vette was cool. But he was so wrong about the 8 it probably wasn't even a chevy...

 

what just happened?

 

Pretty lame, but at least it was kind of nice to see him drive an NSU Spider. Then the Checker Cabs came on and I thought, no way they had rotary engines!
