Which is the same as all the other year models ain't it? Cept 2009 which has the addition of the R3 of course.

You forgot that the GT have the option for the nav too




You have a GT.

One more question I have never been able to go past 123 mph any reasons , it seem to just pull back when I hit 123 and dip to 117 then goes again to 123 and repeats itself, any suggestions

just4rx8

That sucks cuz I have tried asking around if there's even a way to buy a modified tranny to make the paddle ******** respond quickly but no avail and now I can't even get it past 123 ughhh

should have got a manual then. ive hit 125 in my auto. the shifters respond just as fast if not faster than a manual. the automatic rx8s just have hella lag. which is why im getting an MT as soon as possible.

but does it have leather? if not, you have touring. nav is just an option.

DarkLord7854

I don't recall the Touring getting the Nav option.. only GT..

HELLA! LMFAO! definitely norcal

Are you kidding me? Autos are no where near as responsive. You have no clutch in an auto so you don't get anywhere near the manual feel. Get a manual if you buy this car, I honestly don't see why people buy automatic sports cars anyways. You bought the car for performance right? If you bought it for the looks then I'm going to go jump out a window then, there's plenty of other cars you can buy for looks.

Mitsubishi Eclipse is a perfect car from an 'automatic+looks' perspective, get one of those - they look really fast.

how dramatic. my sister bought her 8 for the looks. she has a MT but it wasn't performance she was after. she used to have a MT prelude before that and bought it mostly for the looks too. to each their own (of course you'll never see me in an auto 8).

Bummer, dude! I'd suggest leaving a little bit earlier.

or hit the VTEC button for the extra boost when it won't go over 123.

123 is 'Danger to Manifold' territory......

Sport = Base + DSC, LSD, fog lights, HID headlights.

If you have an automatic transmission, the Sport upgrade also included the 18" wheels and bigger front rotors/brakes.
