The RX-8 is Gone, New Blue Beast
 
So two weeks ago I sold the RX-8 (the guy might be on here) and last Thursday I picked up this car. I 'broke it in' by taking it to PA and back this weekend. Subaru recommends no break in period of on this car. :scratchhe

No, not leaving yet. I'll come to some of your meets still. I can be the support wagon when the RX-8's break down :lol2:

I would have come out last Thursday if I had known. I was picking up my car right down the street

No, just the WRX. Only 265HP and 244lb-ft :tear: I do weigh 168lbs less though.

Wish I coulda bought an STI, but this is still fun

LOL, easy on the Subaru jokes, you'll be selling one soon enough with a 'T' stuck on the hood and trunk :cwm27:

Really? the WRX is 168 Lbs LESS than the Rx-8 and has more torque and horsepower?

No no, it is 168lbs lighter then the WRX STI. The WRX is about 150-200 pounds heavier depending on trims

Nice car mike but if it was me, I'd be missing the 8 about now...

RXeckless 04-19-2010 03:47 PM

Sorry to see another 8 go the way of the dinosaur, but U R A BUS is just as much fun to drive.

nate340 04-19-2010 04:55 PM

iv been trying to figure out how to get a 09 wrx for the last few months while keeping the 8 it's not going so well lol. im a bit jealous i must admit. you'll have to bring it out to some track days

heyarnold69 04-19-2010 05:09 PM
