Lol 502streetScene.net is the worst place for 8 owners. All the little civic drivers love to hate on the 8 saying its way underpowered, not fun to drive, slow, has no handling ect.

like this guy who got it, everyone tried to joke on him.. People are lame.

Aw, they still think there are boys and girls cars. That's sweet.

To be fair though, the guy's kind of stirring **** up.

Edit: Just noticed people born in 1991 are 17 now, holy crap I'm getting old.

This guy calling himself an "RX-7 Fan Boy" fails.

Most dynos are showing around 180-190 at the wheels and the traction control interferres with the results.

The car also picks up quite a bit of power with a chip too, as the main reason there is lower power than the original 250 is because of US emissions requirements.

I highly doubt any healthy RX-8 makes 160 wheel as you can pull more than that out of an S5 FC 6 port with an exhaust.

Also, honda doesn't rate their horsepower at the wheels either buddy.

There is something magical about a guy with a civic pushing a whopping 99hp to the wheels saying someone else's car is underpowered.

Why is it these losers can only come up with "gay" as the worst possible insult?

"derh, It's gay! like I secretly am! ... wait no! I mean its gay just like me! No no! I mean I was touched by my scout leader as a child and thats why I hate your car!"

I will draw your attention to one of our rules (not used much lately, probably due to the 'mature' membership base) about stirring **** on other forums -
Don't.

Any Civic fanboi is welcome here, but if he posts just for shock value and reaction, he will be banned.
Likewise, members who stir up Civic/350Z forums, and get them posting crap over here will also disappear, damn quick.

Used to be a weekly event, someone would poke a stick in another forum and all hell would break loose here. Mods don't like it.

I always thought if you didn't drive a Mustang or a Civic, 502streetscene wasn't for you in the first place... I've never fit in there w/ my offroad truck, and definately not w/ my RX8. Had a buddy that was big over there for a long time in his Mustang... He got out of that scene a few years ago, though, I think, when him and his wife had a baby.

Don't need to stir up their ****. They look to be competent at that all on their own, but duely noted.

I find it funny that none of them can provide any real substantial reasons. It's all opinions and crap they read on the internet... if you're going to quote the internet, at least use an actual review of the car evaluated by people who drive cars all the time. Most reviews turn out good for the 8... and none of them mentions an actual review of the 8. The closest thing they point out to a valid point is the fact that they incorrectly labeled the HP rating on the car, but the car is the same speed, not matter what the claims of hp are..

this post has the same mind numbing, intelligence destroying effect as being without oxygen for over 5 minutes or being exposed to a minimum of 30 seconds of Fox News...

Sometimes i wish there was a reset button in life so that i could take back reading this thread...

i havent read that thread linked but if you would want to make a solid point, just say something to the effect of "Your uber car is my winter beater"

I like this, it reminds me of someone's signature on here (I'd reference who but I cannot remember where I got this):

He picked me because my f*cking car is so cool and looks like a badass batmobile. I could see it in his eyes. He said, "license and registration" but what he meant was "even though i'm a guy, i wanna bang you because your car is so freaking rad."

When considering this point of view, it's easy to see why so many have to resort to using the term "gay" when referring to our pride and joy. Or maybe it is because it is such a beast on the road, they equate it to a girl who sees her dream guy who knows how to dress well: "He MUST be gay, he can't be real."

lmao

anyway to the op - who cares what they think, you like your 8 and everyone knows it drives better even with its 4 cup holders
civic owners have no money = why they own a 90's civic in the first place and have nothing better to do but wait for the gov checks to roll in while they patrol 502streetscene or 411imanewb or whatever other lame *** civic and mustang sites are out there

as for the 8 - its built in japan which leads me to believe there is zero ford involvement, now a the tribute i know is ford because it sucks *** they gave me one while my 8 was in for service and traction control was on constantly even for a 15 mph turn lol
