Last night I was with my friends and we walk out of best buy and I see this rx8 parked next to my car and the guy is staring at my car and as I walk up we start talking and he asks me if I want to run so I sai sure. Well I take him to this long strip of road I know of and we did three runs oh and im stock as he is to so the first one we went from a stop and off the line I got like 3 cars on him and kept gaining hard until he was like 12 car lengths back the second race we went from a 20mph role and I still ate him alive and the third race was from a 40mph role and I still ate him but they were some fun races and the guy was really nice so it was all good.

Nice kill but not much to brag about, those cars are all show and no go. I test drove one and had a guy and his g/f in a lighly modded Civic coupe keep right up with me from 0-70mph when I started to pull slightly. He probably got scared and let up since the speed limit was only 55mph. I have driven many "family" sedans faster than that piece of crap RX8

lol ya it isnt anything to brag about but I thought it was funny he paid $30000 for his car and I only paid $18000.

How do you know he paid 30k and not 22k? The car`s been out for a while now and you could get one used with miles in it.

right. But I bet they don't handle as well

well first off it only had 1500 miles on it and I asked him how much he paid for it and he said he bought it new for 30k and stock for stock there suppost to handle better than a wrx so I hear.

handle better, yes. I hear they have no tq but if you can get them running in the high revs that they'll start moving...
