^ not to mention the emissions improvements across that band.
People forget that the emissions controls were a primary reason for engine changes over the years.
Just like crash safety controls were the primary reason for alot of body style changes, and one of the reasons the FD stopped being sold here.

Yeah I miss the days of having to open my hood and leaving it open in an attempt to cool the engine off after a long and/or hard drive. That car was a hoot, but the engine heat was a real pain to deal with.

Every time I get a grin on my face while winding the engine to 9,000rpm, I pull over and have a random motorist slap me in the face as a reminder of how bad the engine is.
Every time I settle down to a smooth and peaceful cruise down the highway after a day of autocross and feel how smooth and happy the engine is for it's spanking I ram a spork through my eye as a reminder of how bad the engine is.
Every time I shift to an off ramp or on ramp and drop several gears and put the pedal to the floor headed into a turn already double the recommended speed, I pull a pair of hedge shears from the glove box and cut my dick off as a reminder of how bad this engine is.
Yeah, it's a terrible engine. It's well worth the price I pay. How about you?

I might be able to do #2, but I draw the line at #3

I have done all three. Lol.
Also will add one.
Everytime I drive by a lowered Honda or Mitsubishi the driver's girl looks and tells her man how much she likes my car, I grab a rusty infected knife and slice my throut as a reminder of how bad this engine is.
Should make this a game. Ha

i've been here for awhile( a month or so), and see these pop up from time to time, its funny, from bad gas mpg, or to slow etc.. if you dont like it, get rid of it, simple...
i'll stop feeding the trolls, it looked hungry...

Yeah people love the 8. The other day I was walking to my car and a 350z was parked next to me. Their was a couple in front of me that owned the 350, the girl said I really like that car (my 8). The guy said don't you like mine more? She said no that one looks nicer.

Momentum Keeps Me Going
. Eight in my eight is the norm for track driving, and 10K is soooo a recipe for a new engine. You must be in parade laps with that 14 MPG lol and I doubt your rpm boast wo/specical mods. Still the eight is fun under 100mph.

i agree its pretty smooth engine. i like the rx8 i owned one for a year and a half. but i wanted something with some *****. and stopped caring about handling when everyone in american drag races and all we have is wide open roads, this isn't japan.
i am not a troll, i am only stating facts. and i love the rx8 not for performance, but for being different than the rest and the car looks very sexy. but in terms performances it lacks. ok its impressive for a 1.3L, but how long are you going to keep saying that?

You realize this is because of the engine warranty, right? The 8 isn't the only sports car with engine issues. With other cars people don't get a free new engine when they fail, so they tend to move on to a different car.
Your other compaints all make it sound like you're the kind of guy whose dick shrinks whenever he sees a car with higher magazine numbers than the one he drives.

in terms on performance the rx8`s best thing is light weight handling. but in american who really cares that much about handling . most people here have never been to a real track. and on the roads its all about how fast you can go in a straight line. we are not in a fast and furious movie. where they are racing through towns and taking turns on streets going that fast.
the rx8 was a thing of the past, but now there are better cars out.

ya that is true, what a great engine. every time you hit 9k RPM you are still seeing tail lights, unless its a honda civic. and not to mention being the only car forum around that has a new engine club thread. nice! and also the fact that you get beat on a track by cars that don't handle as well because of lack of power coming out of a turn and on the straights.

you know in Japan they called American car "stupid" simply because they turn like a truck and brake fades so fast cuz you have to brake every 2 seconds.
I don't call that "suck" tho, cuz its just for different market.

Was at AutoX this past Saturday, one of their "best driver" actually drives an RX-8, he wasn't driving that day cuz he is doing volunteer work. he drove my car once tho and I almost **** in my pants.
before you say "maybe all other cars are slow", a GT3 was there. Slow ?
