You need to check with your local 7 club and hear the storys there. markflogan 03-27-2009, 10:41 PM i'll do that times like these i wish i could have kept my 3000 markflogan 03-27-2009, 10:47 PM well one quick question.. is a rx8 a chick car to you? i hear a lot of crap for driving one tubingchamp 03-27-2009, 10:51 PM Beginning to doubt you own one. You probably have a civic or an eclipse. Maybe a mustang? QQ somewhere else. markflogan 03-27-2009, 10:54 PM 04 rx8 lol kinda stuck with it lol Phil's 8 03-27-2009, 10:55 PM well one quick question.. is a rx8 a chick car to you? i hear a lot of crap for driving one Ah----the truth comes out......some of your piers with SRTs are telling you the 8 is a chick's car:lol: If you were a little older I would suggest taking your car to the track and race one of those cars on a road course. Your stock a/t should run the same or better lap times than their cars even thought it is "slow". Oh well if I am fighting a bunch of kids with big engined cars who you let get under your skin, I will never win. This car was never meant to go fast in a straight line and compete with a Hemi. markflogan 03-27-2009, 10:57 PM when you live by a bunch of hill billys all that believe in is fast in a straight line Phil's 8 03-27-2009, 11:03 PM Beginning to doubt you own one. You probably have a civic or an eclipse. Maybe a mustang? QQ somewhere else. pics or fail when you live by a bunch of hill billys all that believe in is fast in a straight line When you don't tell us where you live it's kinda like your hiding something. Maybe turbingchamp is right.

Mine will be dynoed in November. And it should show results over 200 WHP. nuke0907 08-24-2009, 05:17 PM why did this thread get bumped? let it die. Easy_E1 08-24-2009, 05:20 PM Talk to pistonkilla about that. Cowabunga! bhop 08-24-2009, 07:21 PM Honestly, I don't know how to explain myself when it comes to rx8 automatics. Mine drives perfectly fine and when pushed it serves me well.. True drivers won't make fun of you for owning one unless it's just for jokes. I have a turbocharged 350z and have no problem with other FI cars on the road but what car do I drive always, my automatic rx8 although my 350z is manual. One day, automatic rx8's will have a FI kit that be able to achieve 400hp but I'm still trying to figure out when this day will come:cwm27::Wconfused Brettus 08-24-2009, 07:23 PM /\ your user title kinda contradicts what you just said .................. bhop 08-24-2009, 07:27 PM /\ your user title kinda contradicts what you just said .................. yea, but this kid seems sad about owning one in the first place and I'm still going to swap but I don't mind automatics also meaning that since I used to only drive manual, I would not make fun of people who did like this guys friends did. nuke0907 08-24-2009, 07:30 PM LET IT DIE!!! this thread is worthless. bhop 08-24-2009, 07:35 PM ^ I guess your right realBlackSunshine 05-22-2010, 08:23 AM I will race any 4-cylinder honda or whatever, pick and choose the V-6's I run and stay the fuck away from v8 or better, unless u are side byside at about 70mph(rolling start) then you can just hope their cpu cuts them back b4 yours does. To answer your ? yes your at 8 can be fast , but it will never go 0-60mph in less than 5 seconds, but I bet your buds in their f'n hemi's can't take corners at 105mph. rotary heads drive rotaries because they love the handleing, and fun of driving it, we give up torque, and mpg for having a unique fun ride, that might just wax that ass!!!! if u live in the south tell your buddies to race u on the draggon>>>>>>>>>> |
