early morning fun

man can this rx8 handle, i love it so much hehe. you know those twisty tight circular onramps, got on one in 3rd gear (really early in the morning no one else around) and wanted to feel some g's hehe, and as i was clearing to the straight road, i heard the beep, and not even a hint of a chirp from protesting tires, i was so freaking impressed, not only by the grip but the chair held me in too...nearly perfection, i love this car

Take her out on Kelly or Lincoln Dr for some real fun. Better yet, drive out to Ephrata near Lancaster for some crazy corner carving. Just look out for the Amish horse and buggies. We used to ride out sport bikes out there. Great roads.

The first day I drove my 8 to work I was on the NB side of 202, took the ramp to EB 422 at 60 mph. It's about a 300 degree turn. Not a drop of coffee spilled. Amazing.

The handling also lets you scare the living **** out of your friends/girlfriend... ive heard at least 10 times already "slow down there is a curve there"... i reply "pffff - we're not in a 350z" :D
