Low-Displacement Engines
We made another article:
http://www.motortrend.com/features/c...itsubishi.html
"Roads like Highway 33 are where you learn to love the RX-8. Start by winding out the engine to its stratospheric 9000-rpm redline and working the crisp gearshift. You won't care at all about the zero-to-60 time or standing quarter-mile, because you'll be busy trying to figure out how 232 horsepower and 159 lb-ft of torque could feel so fast. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that third gear is good for 100 mph, and you still have three more. Or perhaps it's the sound those little spinning triangles make as you rapidly approach redline -- something akin to listening to an old Formula 1 car through a brick wall. Muted, but magnificent."
