OH Noobie RX-8 Owner

Proud owner of a slightly used demo 2010 GT in Liquid Silver. Finally broke down and bought one after contemplating it for about a year. I hated to give up my Velocity Red Mica Speed6, but the handling of the 8 is just too sweet to pass up.

Did a lot of comparisons with other cars, and narrowed it down to a Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Track and the RX-8. Drove both a lot, including a 2011 8 R3, but the Hyundai just felt a little rough around the edges, although the content on the Track is pretty extensive. Lots of torque, flat cornering, but just not the pure driving experience that the 8 has. R3 was nice, but the deal I got on the demo pretty much sealed the deal.

Did a search of other threads with other SW Ohio owners. Looking to meet and trade info at some point. Contact me if interested.

Welcome.

I see you posted in the cincy thread as well. Get some pictures up. I know a few pretty good spots if you want somewhere to shoot. I have a couple new ones I want to try sooner or later as well.

Make sure to read the stickies and the "New and Potential Owners Thread" Tons of good info to help you and the car stay happy.

Congrats again on the 8. You're gonna love it.

Thanks Unique. I did a search on Cincinnati and didn't think to search on Cincy. Found the NK/Cincy group later.

This is a really mean place until you have at least 500 posts. So just take it for what its worth but if you ask a question you will probably be bashed the first 20 posts until someone thats bored comes along and answers it:P

Welcome aboard lol.

I almost thought I might have seen you today. I saw a Sunlight Silver with tinted windows and tinted tails today. It was an S2, they stopped at the dealer I work at. But, I don't think you have either of those :P
