The Magnet...

I have had my car since July 24th.. I have been driving too damn much to have had time to come here earlier... To all of those that are fortunate enough to have their 8's... What is better than the feeling of driving your 8? The feeling of dropping it to 3rd from 70 or having every head turn around as you drive by?
To those of you waiting... It is all worth it in the end..

I am new to the DC Metro Area.. .so the navigation is turning out to be an absolute lifesaver...

Any one with info on clubs, or groups in the area.. drop me a line.

I'm still waiting for my green one been on order sence last week in april I hope it's here soon. I am curious how it runs holds the road and fast it is capable of running sence you have been driving it a lot maybe you can fill me in? So what color did you buy? I hate to ask a lot of questions but I haven't ever owned a rotary motored car and sence I can't find one around to test drive it's down to asking questions.

... I put the first 1000 miles on my car in 6 days... This past weekend was fun time.. I left from Northern VA and headed to Pittsburgh PA for a family reunion... I just moved to the area so I am the only one down here... Which was great because it was just me and the 8.

This is my first Rotory as well, although driven many 7's. The car sticks to the road better than any 7 I have driven.. The engine is hungry, and although it took a little while for me to get smooth... the clutch and short throw shift is a good time.... I was cruising at 65, 70 not even realizing that I was in 4th gear no problem.... I didn't really push her all that much.. but the redline has definately been played with a couple times... There was a run for about 30 minutes with a Viper mid PA... There was no racing... but we were cruising between 75 and 110 for about 45 minutes... I topped out at 112 at under 6k...

When I got to PA... I picked up my brother... I took it to the parking lot of the highschool and spun her around a couple of times.. She loves going sideways..

There is not need for a test drive... There is nobody that will not love this car...
