this will be on a drag strip, so its ok right?

Dude, he lives his life a quarter mile at a time!

Nope, you're going to get banned, you had better delete this thread.

'Cause verts are da bomb yo. The sites are calling it 2007... even Shitsubishi is calling it the 2007... http://www.mitsucars.com/MMSA/jsp/index.jsp

or a quarter pounder at a time...

but i thought that it was ok to talk about racing at a drag strip.. thers a bunch of other threads that allow it

That's for established members, if you haven't been on the site for at least a year talk of racing in a straight line is off limits.

lets get back to the topic on hand....cheese sandwiches.

Time for a snack...

mmmm... how does bread and cheese taste so damn good?

thank you.

The simple fact is the 8 makes incredibly tasty cheese sandwiches, if you want better, you have to upgrade to the turbo.

The Mazdaspeed version is a double decker cheese sandwich covered in chili...

That looks pretty good right about now...

With equal drivers the Eclipse should lose to the rx8 because it is so heavy. Now, if the rx8 driver has eaten a lot of cheese sandwiches, all bets are off. If the race isn't in a straight line, even the cheese sandwiche eating rx8 driver wins. Besides that, in a cheese sandwhich cookoff, the rx8 wins because it throws off more heat. Tastes great and goes fast too!

sweet baby heart attack jesus........come to papa

Now that has the potential to start a grease fire on your plate.

one might argue that a slow-cooked grilled cheese is superior...

not arguing, just proposing...

Riverdance!

Superior? not likely, on your plate faster, no.

If you want to win, make sure you slap on a Honda badge for a Billion horsepower.

I also wonder why you care if you can beat the Eclipse. It's not your race to win. Leave him for the boy racers in their Civics or, better, a Neon SRT-4. To me, the Rx-8 is more about the driving experience; your connection to a lonely twisty road or a brisk peppy sprint through the canyons. To me, the Rx-8 is more about the driver/car relationship and testing one's technical abilities.

Speaking of Elipsai (plural for Eclipse), that new '06 model is so not a sports car! Sure, it has a fast engine (but so does my '73 Road Runner), but it wasn't built to handle at all... What ever happened to the AWD? Guess it's better to compromise and the price reflects it. Yet for some reason, it's still considered a "sports car". It's pretty, I'll give you that, but seems to lack a styling maturity. It seems excess for the sake of excess, like the proverbial "stripper" look (augmented body parts, anorexic, bleached hair). No, give me the sophistication and maturity of Catherine Zeta Jones. Give me the Rx-8. Function AND form...

Yeah, leave the poor Eclipse alone.

Cheese sandwiches PWN in the twisties! :rock:

I liked the old Bannana guy much better.

me too, I demand that you change it back.

and speaking of not being built to handle, actually from what I have heard is that it torque steers almost constantly, I believe it is most commonly refered to as a deathtrap.
