Anything would help, including more MPG.

 

a second gen 8 would help.

 

as i had suspected, the RX8 only had 835 miles on the odometer (per C&D's posted data sheet). In C&D's long term tester, the car ran about a 15 sec quarter mile when brand new and then ran a 14.6 after 20,000 miles.

...too bad they weren't supplied a broken in car to run

 

The article to me is a decathalon test so to speak. Overall the 8 sqeaks out the rating but not in the event most people care about. Lane changing, braking, street driving all important, just not important to most drivers.

 

So much for breaking that car in properly.

 

Damn, I gotta get a C&D subscription. I'll have to send a copy of this to a buddy of mine whose a VP over at Ford.

 

So he can be happy that one of their cars won?

 

He's the guy who ordered my RX-8 for me....after spending 2 months trying to talk me into a Mustang Cobra.

 

I just read the article and have to say congrats to the RX-8. As others have stated what really suprised me was the new TT. The new TT's weight, straight line speed, handling/road course times, and breaking is damn impressive. I was expecting it to be a glorified GTI. I would like to see what a chipped TT could do.

 

Now someone tell me why on the base model they put that it cost 31k when a base model RX-8 is 27k?

 

Depends on the person. Great handling with a nice ride are high on many people
s lists.

 

who brought this back??? I thought it was dead.........

 

anyone else find that the new TT looks eerily similar to a crossfire?
