great pics guys, I'm sure your all on cloud nine right now

For those of you who are enjoying your new 6 speed RX-8, I have a few questions as I’m trying to figure out how this will work as a daily driver, I’m in Houston and the traffic here ca get pretty ugly.

1. What do you think of its low/mid range in terms of power? How is it cruising around in traffic?

2. Where in terms of RPM do you launch from a stop light?

3. How much power does 1st gear give you? What gear are you cruising around at 30-45 mpg hour in?

4. We all the reviews that claimed the low/mid was weak (relatively speaking) accurate in your mind?

5. How’s the shifter feel? How about the clutch?

Many thanks; I hope you are enjoying your cars.
