If you're too young and inexperienced then keep the camaro. It is not fast and if you take a turn in the wrong way you can step on the accelerator. With the rx8 you have to know how to drive to be fast since you have to keep the momentum while turning.

Seriously test drive the car. When I was looking for my car, I tried to get every single amount of useful info about the car. Then I got carried away with the shitty MPG and the retarded stuff about the rotary engine.

Simply, go test drive it and none of the stuff (mpg and reliability) will bother you. Only reason you see these problems is because most people are ignorant about this car and have no idea what procedures are needed in order to fix it. But MPG is alright, some on this forum can manage 25-27mpg on pure highway.

Also for your reference stating that your prelude gave a good chirp from first to second, this car can burn a little if you shift fast into second with OK tires. It can also chirp third, but that's a bit rare.

LOL wtf? Camaro is HORRIBLE for inexperienced drivers. Have you driven one? You know how EASY it is to get sideways? All that torque ***** **** up. You need REALLY good tires to not go sideways.
