RX8 vs Speed 6
Okay, next week I buy a new Mazda.
I'm torn between the RX8 and Speed 6.
Somebody tell me why the heck I would by an RX8 when I can buy a FASTER Speed 6 for LESS!

The RX-8 looks better, is more fun to drive, has a much higher cool factor and doesn't blow up on the dyno. 
Also the MS6 is faster in a straight line but I'd put my money on the RX-8 in the corners.

well here are some reasons...yes the 8 isnt the fastest, but it sure is one amazing machine!
Highest Rev range of any car
you can redline it to 9,000 RPM
you're going to have people commenting on your car all the time
looks & handles so much better
finally you're going to have a hot girl in your passenger seat laughing at the guy driving the speed 6 hahah
