Drift set up?
 
Since this car will be all about handling...so anybody think of the potential rx-8 has for some drifting action?

We won't use it for Drag...and autocross is bad for low torque...so how about some drifting action? Its all about control at the limit and I think Rx-8 should be a perfect fit?

Keep in mind drifting competitions require quite a bit of power because they need a surge of power to release the rear end.

Controlling it in the RX-8 should prove to be no problem though :)

saw the car and driver episode on the rx-8 today. if i had any doubts or worries about getting this car before i saw, they're all gone. it was absolutely beautiful, amazing, sexy, and beautiful. i think the red with those 5 spoke rims look the absolute best on the rx-8 though i'd never get a red. (not a red kinda guy) i can't wait till the day i get one whenever that may be :)

wait what was the topic? oh yes drifting. yeah those guys drifted it pretty nice. yeah... alright. bye
