Get a Scanguage II, and plug into the OBDII port.

I put 225/40r18 tires on my 8, so I don't even check speedo, I use the scan guage corrected mph.

Man you make some funny ****; you should make some movies about road trips in your 8.

I had to pay $32.5k for my Velocity Red 6 speed auto GT RX8 in 2007, so it's 10 years old, and only 34k miles.

It's like a red headed step child that everyone talks smack about, but that smooth turbine like pull is mesmerizing.

Ever body got an opinion about your ride, but I go my own way.

Thank you soo much man :D I have a great idea for an epic road trip feature film, but i need a higher budget and bigger camera crew. But It'll happen!!!!

That's an amazing machine. I feel you bro! People who never been in a rx8 are always the loudest. Enjoy every bit of it!

Good, did you also gave him your decency and respect, or you haven't had time to buy that yet?

We found a guy with work ethic, and we nurture that.

He protects us, we protect him.
