Sports Car = A/T ???

At least it's nice looking right? Check out other 18-yr olds around you. Hey, at least you're driving an RX-8. Those guys drive old Civic and Integras. They're not complaining about not doing burnouts. They have other exciting things going on with their cars.

I agree that if you buy an AT you should expect this. I have an AT but am not interested in doing burnouts or showing off for the local high school kids. I love my at rx for all the right reasons. I use it for a daily driver and enjoy it for use as my company car. My clients love it and I do not look like every other Insurance Agent in my town. If you want to do burnouts, go buy yourself a 78 Camaro with 20 inch tires and have fun buying new ones every 6 months.

I've spun the back-end out 3 times - one wet, and two dry. It does work around u-turns if you turn quick enough and start from say a rolling 5-10, not a stand-still.

And yes i did pay 30 for an auto....ONLY option it doesnt have is the accents and strakes.....
dude lol ... calm down .... not to offend you or anything ... but your making me look bad just because I'm around the same age as you .... Same with that other "lime cat green" dude .... iono why .. but just seems like most of the 17/18 year olds excluding polak and that cute looking asian girl are asking some questions that sound pretty stupid ..... first off ... burn outs on a auto rx-8 ... easy as a mofocker ... did it before .. turn off TSC and DCS , and hold down the brake pedal and floor it and ease off the brake. Then just go around and your burning out (have no idea why you'd want to do this with rx-8 ...)

Second thing ... do not say you can out handle many of the people on this site lol ... cause most of the people bought the rx-8 for it's handling ... and they know how to drive it. Don't use the f1 course as you know how to handle ... cause that means nothing ... those things are so small (and for peopole thinking it's a real F1 car ... it isn't .. it's a lil dinky cart) ... you'd be stupid not to know how to drive them lol.


Don't mean to offend you or anything .. but your coming out as a unmature brat and that an't really cool ..

Sorry if I sound like I'm pissed. .. had a long *** day ... and just seeing people my age asking questions like "The salesmen didn't know what limecat green was" , or "I can't do a burn out in a auto rx-8" ..... iono just makes me feel old for my age ..... If you are trying to find a color that doesn't exist ... then iono whats wrong with you ... and if you can't figure out how to do a burn out in any car ... you gotta learn how to drive ... that is all peace

Not sure if you call this a donut but I was making a right turn in my AT 8 on a wet road. Turned right and accelerated, spun and ended up going left.

One has to wonder if your parents bought you the auto specifically because they didn't want you doing donuts.

I don't know you or your family, I'm just sayin donuts are pretty unwise things to do.


My MT tries to do donuts every time I pull a u-turn if I'm not careful.

if you want to do a burnout just do this....\

put in neutral and rev it up till you're bouncing off the rev limiter then slam it into drive..you will burn out....and maybe even burn out ur tranny too.....that would b a double wammmy!!!!!
