Anyone DRIVE an R3 yet??
has anyone test driven an R3?

how does it handle/drive/accelerate compared to an older gen RX8? compared to 40th anniv.?

I'm wondering if the R3 will really be any faster/better handling than a shinia/40th anniv or an older RX8 with shocks/springs - and maybe it's just the add on flash stuff and hype?

I have and it would be a great track car with the buckets and stiff springs.

I'm still trying to find out if the Recaro's give you any more headroom over the stock seats...

You'll have to fight something like half the board, including me, for those seats.
