Whee!!! I finally decided to get the Velocity Red RX8, base, M/T, spoiler, cargo net. It was on sale for $24,988. Put down 6K and drove it off the lot.

I have a question though. Because my 8 is a base model, no sport package or anything, there is no DSC but does that mean no TCS too? If that is the case, what should I watch out for? I know some people here were even trying to disable both on their cars. Am I lucky or should I be worried? I don't drive crazy anyway... (yet)

Have fun with your new 8!

There are no real reason RX8's rule the world. They just do!

Congratulations! You'll love it.

Yes, it does mean no TCS. I got the Sport so I can't tell you what to watch out for.

BTW, the car will tempt you to "drive crazy" :D
