Anyway just thght i'd share the pics.

Outside of Kingston on the orange farms. Its like 15-20 minutes from new kingston (downtown). Dont remember the name of the farm.
Aparently rally is really big here, they have at least 1 or 2 a month.

WOW.........that looks like like it'd be a blast to watch. Too bad I live in TENNESSEE!!! A WRX on the highway just doesn't have the same effect

yah rally is pretty much big everywhere except for the U.S.
that goes for f1, lemans, jgtc, and motogp :/
americans are more into nascar and indy ::sigh::

i hate having to wake up at 4 30 in the morning to watch f1 on speed channel!!!

F'ing sweet!!! i hope to be able to watch this one day soon.

Uglier but faster than your 8 in every possible way

Excellent pics, you can never really appreciate a rally race until you actually see on in person.

I wish I could say I'm surprised by this comment but I'm not. It's actually sad that as I was reading the replies I expected a comment such as this.

that is too cool
you are lucky as hell

thanks, I also have videos. If anyone is interested in hosting tham PM me, also I can send them by email if you guys like, There is one of the "ugly" car jumping while taking a turn 10/10ths from where we where standing. It just doesn't get any better than that!

You guys can say what you feel. Yes, those two are faster than my RX8. But not in every way, especially not the handling department. Plus we don't need Turbo's, Brembos, and MacPherson Struts to get fairly good performance numbers. Second, I can voice my opinion on the looks of the car if I wish. If the truth hurts its not my problem, it yours. I call those two cars "The Fast and The Ugly"!

Mikelikes2drive

i dont know... i'm pretty sure an STi and evo can out handle our car... on track and straight line...
sorry to burst your bubble moe.

you might call them ugly, but theyre built for rallying and aerodynamic performance.

The evo does out handle the 8.

You do have a point. Everyone has different tastes. I personally think the EVOs and STIs look great, but i can see why others would think not.

In the end I also bought an RX-8. Personally the 8 is more suited for the way i like to drive. I would rather have a RWD versus an AWD, and to me I think the RX-8 looks better... BUT i would not diss on the Evo. It's a different car, but definetly a great car nonetheless.

You are posting in an 8 forum.

Well, i'm sure those cars in the rally tracks can easily hand the Rx8's *** on a platter simply because they're not your standard Evo, STi, Focus, etc..

in terms of handling, the only rwd car in the price range that comes close to the EVO is S2k, but not quite there. Its not that AWD is better than RWD or anything, its just that EVO is a race tuned factory car! the thing pulls a freakin .98G! and steering response is 2nd to none, its like instantaneous. Ive heard many track guys say the Elise handles even better though, wish i get a chance to drive one soon.

BlueEyes

Well, your standard Evo, STi can easily hand the Rx8's *** on a platter too.

great another thread about this subject, as if the other 50 threads that turned into "my rx8 is better than a (insert any car name here)" werent enough

Say what you like. You obviously are in love with EVO's so your going to have your bias opinion. Come over to my area and I'll show you how true that picture is. I bet your Asian since your the one that has that pic! Now what? I'm tired of dealing with people like you that have some much mouth over the Internet, but if it came to a face to face, you would back down in your little rat hole. Stick to your fast ugly cars. Their known for being fast and ugly. I'm yet to meet a person in REAL life(not the Internet), that think the STi or EVO is a good looking car.
