2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is faster than an RX-8....and our lord.
Today was a Wendy's day. I sat around my apartment for a while and when it was time to eat...well I just sat around some more playing with my wii. I was too lazy to get up and do anything about my hungry stomach. But soon after the hunger grew and I was forced up and into the shower.
Moments later I found myself behind the wheel of a winning blue Mazda RX-8...MY winning blue Mazda RX-8 as it turned out. I knew exactly where Wendy's was but regardless of that fact I fired up the NAV. Once it was programmed in I was off! I used my NAV because I was driving alone and like the company. She has a sweet voice. A tender voice. I like to close my eyes sometimes while I drive and pretend she is right next to me, possibly naked. She'll touch me. She lean over and whisper to me "Make a legal u-turn when possible" as I open my eyes and realize I just missed my turn.
Eventually I pull into Wendy's and step out. I take notice to the 03/04 Mach 1 in the parking lot. I like it. I have a soft spot for mustangs. I recently owned a 04 GT in fact.
Anyway I walk in and order a triple cheesebuger combo. I don't know why. I always order it and then when I sit down I always get upset by the amount of grease that literally pours off of it. But yet, everytime....
As I'm nearing the end of my meal I notice a chap looking at the RX-8. Giving it the ole once over, the stink eye, the dirty look, the hairy eyeball, the skunk eye you get the picture. I stand up and throw away my trash. The chap who I will call Ron(not his real name) looks at me and kind of follows me with his eyes as I make my way to my car. He walks out and says "Hey man, that your car?"
"Why yes!" I reply.
"Man I would whoop that thing man. What's it got in there?" He enthusiastically asks.
"Well it has a 1.3L rotary engine" I say.
"What's it get to?" He wonders.
"Get to?" I ask?
"Under the hood. What's it pushin'?" He explains.
I say "If you mean power, it's rated at 238hp, but it's been known to be overrated. I'm not sure of the exact power figure but it's close to that."
"THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY!!!!" He ejaculates.
"Yup." I say.
"That thing wouldn't stand a chance against my mach!" He informs me.
"You're right. In a straight line race you would kill me" I agree.
"I know! It wouldn't even be funny" He happily exclaims!
"I would be embarrased frankly. I'm not sure if I'd even get back in my car. You're mach 1 would completely obliterate it. Hell it would even beat Jesus." I say.
"huh" He asks perplexed.
"Well...from a roll anyway. I mean from a dig Jesus would probably win. Dude has a TON of traction...he'd have to to walk on water." I say matter of factly.
"Uh......ok" He says confused.
"Yup.....well.....I gotta go see a man about....some....stuff. So I'm going to get going." I say.
I shake his hand, and get in my car to leave. What did Ron do? Well, he got in his car and as he left Wendys...before me...I didn't want him behind me...he does a giant burn out and then stalls. I felt partly responsible. As he did his burnout I thought how funny it would be if it stalled. Then it did. I was impressed! He cranks it back up and peels out.Later I played with my wii some more and made macaroni and cheese.
It was a good day.

lol, good story. I like power as much as the next guy, but if you can't do power AND handling, I don't really see the point in wasting your time. I've got power AND handling (and no, it's no longer an 8), so I'm happy. Hell, I was DAMN happy with my 8, too.

And you don't see an RX-8 on the road every ten minutes, either.
I nearly bought the 'Stang (as they call them 'round here...yee-haw) but when I realized every guy with a pair of cowboy boots, no teeth, and living in a trailer bought one, I gravitated right back to the Mazda. Glad I did.
