Are you Eric's mini me? How much does he pay you to agree with Him? Must be a fortune. I like the disclaimer at the end of your quote.

See that Ike, he just compared the Sti to the Evo and said the Sti is a better car. This once I have to agree with eric (Send me the bribe money). And you thought he was your friend.

I stand corrected.

The rx8 is the porsche of $25-$30k sports cars. The Evo is a econobox. Attach a turbo, it's still an econobox. It's a garbage can on wheels and carries some trash around here. Don't insult my sensitivities and compare my car to to garbage 
furthermore, Mazda is a much better brand than mitso. Much more car for the money. Read car and driver. rx8 has worldwide acclaim as a technological marvel. I really do not respect turboed econo cars. They're for kids. Nothing but a civic with a turbo. An econobox tuner. It's for kids. Your not really honest, just ignorant and slanted towards kiddie clown cars.

Sweet! Another lecture from roaddemon! I was hoping the series would continue!
The Porsche of $25K-$30K sports cars! BUWHAHAHAHAHA!!! I guess we can chalk up the 911 as yet another car that roaddemon has never driven. Comparing a MAZDA to a Porsche is laughable.
If you want to talk about "worldwide acclaim", they you will need to talk about the Evo and STi, which, unlike the RX-8, have been around for about 15 years and have a HUGE worldwide following.
Face it, the RX-8 is just another sporty coupe that fits in right along with the Eclipses, Cobalts, GTIs, and Solaras of the world, while the STi and Evo are for real driving enthusiasts and standout head and shoulders above said vehicles.
At your age, you should be buying a BMW M3 or a Porsche Cayman, instead of buying a $25K entry level sport coupe and comparing it to a Porsche.
Looking forward to the next lecture in the series...

The only thing that saves you from me is the legacy sedan, too bad it resembles a 94' accord coop, but i'll let it pass. Rx8 is not comparable to any of the cars you mentioned. The Sti is, and more ity bity fwd turbo cars will follow. You should compare to them and leave the rx8 out of it. Go lord over them with your bigger turbo,awd and stiff suspension crap. I like jap quality. m3's are maintenaince laden. I would sacrifice for a z4. A Legacy would get the job done nicely. But I'll keep my 8 Forever. It has soul.
The Sti forum is thata way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Pack up and go. They miss you.

rx8 is a very high performance car, but not everyone knows that because its not a high number getter so it deters the dickless benchracers that read stats all day determining the highest performing car.

I'm sure this has been said time and time again regarding this comparison.....so I'll say it again. Why are the STI, EVO & RX8 being compared in performance? I find it hard to believe that anyone truely believes the RX8 is a faster car than the EVO or STI.....conversely, I find it hard to believe that anyone would think an EVO or STI is as nice looking, as nicely appointed, or more comfortable than the RX8. The EVO and STI are true 4-door sedans that have AWD and turbo I4 engines. The RX8 is a sports coupe which is meets the minimum requirements of being a "4-door", it is RWD and has a ultra rare 2-rotor engine. The EVO and STI are cars for people that wanted a streetable WRC car. The RX8 is a unique beauty which really has no equal. We might as well compare a Typhoon to the RX8.....it also has AWD and a turbo.
