16!? I'd say that's optimistic, but that just might be because of the lead foot. XD

This guy is actually a friend of a friend and he is the nicest most down to earth guy you'll ever talk to. I've never actually seen the car in person, but holy **** that motor is INSANE.

16 is what the sticker said, in ideal conditions with 0 friction lol. Some owners get great gas mileage and others, like myself, get poor gas mileage. I actually get about 12mpg on average with a stock 2004 rx8 gt and I drive about 90% highway. Im usually going about 60-70mph. I might aswell have this 2400HP car. Then you can drive around with fake plates and when a cop comes up behind you just open it up and there wont be a cop behind you any more.

I get 19.1 with 0% highway driving (back roads, mostly, moderate traffic) in a relatively stock 06, and I drive it like I stole it.

As far as the fake plates goes, sure you won't have a cop behind you, you'll just have five infront of you, a helicopter looking for you and a very conspicuous car.

GADZOOOKS!!

This is awe inspiring!! not because of the horse power, but because of the love and dedication this man has to build such a beautiful creation / creature.... I've seen a lot of awesome cars in person, but nothing like this. This is staggeringly well done.

This man, is a man, among men. His humility and ability, mops the floor with any would be "Horse Power Hero" who tools his car for the sake of his own ego.

This man... is greater than his car. Being his 18th car (he built), he should prove a lesson for me, that the RX8 is not greater than a man's capacity for greatness, or his capacity to find joy in the work of his hands. [Objects in the mirror are loosing] - that is tell tale embellishment of a man's joy.

Simply inspired...!

Looking at this... I feel a sense of duty and appreciation to buy Hymme's super charger master piece for my dearest RX8.

Thank you! for sharing this KVNDOOM!!!
