View Full Version : My new Mazda rx-8/ Tundra Flairside mxmedina 10-03-2003, 12:16 AM Check out these choices: Mazda rx-8 or Toyota Tundra Flair-side. Both have about the same HP both handle great and both look goooood!!! BlueOakleyz 10-03-2003, 12:24 AM a truck will never compare to a sports car in looks mikeb 10-03-2003, 02:46 AM are you serious you cant compare these two IWANTMYRX8 10-03-2003, 03:41 AM Um...Apples and Oranges... RotaryStalker 10-03-2003, 08:11 AM Well I actually bought a Tundra Stepside a few months ago instead of the 8. I did it because I can write it off as a capital expense. I really do love the Tundra though. I've had about 8 sports cars in the past and 2 SUVs. The Tundra is far better than any SUV I've owned (2 4Runners). It's got gobs of power and is actually quite fast. Mine is a TRD (street) version and I almost bought the supercharger and headers which can boost hp and torque by about 45%. I also got a killer deal on it. 1k under invoice and another 2k off. I highly recommend the Tundra. Plus the Tundra seems to get better mileage. :p RotaryStalker jtimbck2 10-03-2003, 12:55 PM Originally posted by IWANTMYRX8 Um...Apples and Oranges... :eek: Apples and Oranges??? This is, um, Cranberries and Watermelons! Haris 10-03-2003, 03:42 PM V8 tundra - Tons of torque. Yummy! ;) RX8 - Killer styling, killer interior, killer engine, killer everything. :D Irish_in_a_RX8 10-03-2003, 04:08 PM * Shudders !! * English 10-03-2003, 10:34 PM I was thinking about getting a dog, or a snake. Then I decided on a dog. The snake had no legs...then I thought maybe I'd pick up a guinea pig, but I didn't. Tundras are not like 8s. Do you catch my drift????:D rxevolve10 10-03-2003, 11:33 PM It just so happens I work at the plant that builds the Tundra. I must agree with mxmedina the Tundra does handle great especially with the optional Sports Suspension Package. If you do add a supercharger alone it makes H.P. around 353 but..... They are two completely different vehicles mikeb 10-04-2003, 04:05 PM so whats it goin be Zio 10-04-2003, 04:26 PM it handles great?? i'd like to see a tundra take a turn at 40 mph. IWANTMYRX8 10-04-2003, 06:00 PM Originally posted by Zio i'd like to see a tundra take a turn at 40 mph. ditto...can we say rollover collision? if u want hauling power, then sure, but the 8 is in a different class. not used for hauling..used for fun!!!!!:D RotaryStalker 10-06-2003, 10:31 AM But which would you rather be in when the Terminators attack? Tundra all the way baby!! RotaryStalker mikeb 10-06-2003, 07:29 PM what rxevolve10 10-06-2003, 10:31 PM I know they can take a 40mph turn, because I have had them on the test track. And yes it handles great for a truck. I think you are thinking of a SUV on the rollover thing. I think the RX-8 was built to handle great, and the Tundra was built to do what a truck does, but has the ride and agility of a sports sedan. RotaryStalker 10-07-2003, 07:56 AM mikeb... Go see Terminator 3. They destroy a Tundra in a chase scene. RotaryStalker Slice 10-07-2003, 08:53 AM Why not buy them both? Everyone needs the functionality of a truck. The Ego-Testosterone look/feel of an 8 can't be beat.... mikeb 10-07-2003, 08:12 PM slice money might be a issue for him buying both thanks rotary stalker for clearing that up RX8by 10-12-2003, 08:40 AM I have both. I have had a 2000 tundra since Nov 99. I just got my RX8 Sept 26. The Tundra is a great riding truck and with a rear sway bar really handles well. I use it mostly to tow my 17 Lund fishing in Canada. I have towed it 12,000 miles so far. I love my 8 so far and I due get better gas mileage then in the Truck. mikeb 10-13-2003, 05:44 PM congrats then |
