Hello to the RX-8 community.

I just took delivery of a brand new Gray RX-8 Shinka Edition from Irvine Mazda yesterday :)

I really like the look of the car, and I am pretty happy with it so far. I thought about purchasing the s2000, but since it was a two seater and I go out with my family very often, it was not suitable for me at the time. I hope the RX-8 drives the same, if not better than the s2000.

Pros:

9k redline
great body shape, and curves
handles well
A lot more, but I'm am sure you guys already know :)

Cons:

Tail lights. The Pros outweigh the cons by a huge margin though,


I look forward to meeting some of you guys at meets, and cruises. If there is a thread specifically for SoCal members, please let me know.

Thanks guys! I actually work 5 min away from the spectrum, so this would be the perfect meet, to get acquainted.

welcome to the socal community!

i hope to see you at some of the local meets including the LAX meet!

I was wondering if you guys ever got together with the s2000 members? It should be fun caravaning with s2000s, and 350Zs.

congrats
