There's a difference between fanbois and people who enjoy their car they have purchased, understand its weaknesses, and post their experiences and thoughts on the forums just to be slapped in the face by the guy.

we werent sayin that the rx8 is the best car out there. of course there are always faster and better cars out there. we were just posting what we have experienced with our 8 since we own it and enjoy driving it everyday, so you can just back off on the capping.

This is great. You got the defensive guys (fanbois) defending the rx8 from racing humiliation (as usual), the realistic ones who tell it like it is, the neutrals, and then there's IKE, who always clashes with the defensive (or fanboi) RX8 owners. I don't blame him. He's having fun, and he knows how to push all of your buttons, so more power to him. Don't you guys see he's simply feeding off your insecurity? The more you try and defend the RX8 in terms of how fast it is against other cars like SRT, the more ammo you give him. Try admitting that you as a driver beat the other driver, not that your car is faster, and he might back off. You can't win an argument, when the guy you are up against has truth on his side. I admit, he's a rude m'fer, but someone's gotta knock the BS fanbois off their defensive pedistals, so why not Ike. I'm enjoying this.

Lighten the hell up, and stop acting like I've offended your mother every time I say something that doesn't present the RX-8 in the best light.
HaHaHa,
Practice what your preach, You cry like a baby when I trolled the troll. That's how we keep you honest. It was fun when I messed with you for 3 threads. You told me to stop stirring up trouble. You said I was bashing. The same goes for you. Your trying to shut down this fine thread.
RX8 IS GREAT. SRT SUCKS.
The 8 is not the most powerful car but it will hold it's own. It can keep anything in it's sights on the track. Who cares on the street. Street racing is fast and furious dangerous.

Also, I once was involved in a cat and mouse race with a f430. I was at his bumper the whole entire time. After the race I pulled up next to him and waved but he was on the phone and some chick was giving him a hummer.....
Wish I had a Ferrari
Some day I'll have to do a timed run through the twisty section of back road near my house.
once in the 914 and once in the RX-8. I think the 8 would be close but not ahead.
the 914 gets 2nd place everywhere else. just can't compete with the 8 on an open road.

How do you like your 914.....almost bought one many years ago, but was to gun shy, because at the age of 20 still in college, i was afraid if anything went wrong with the car, i wouldn't be able to afford to fix it. Cool looking cars....they can handle really well , two guys owned 914's in our small german car club, called German Muscle.....ahhh the good ol days.

Almost any car in Germany, except for Porsches and some imported sports cars, is limited to 250 km/h top speed. The top speed (at least as shown in the speedometer) of an RX-8 is somewhere between 242 und 253 km/h, depending on environmental conditions.
You're not very likely to be taken over though.

You guys need to cut Ike some slack.
He lives in Milwaukee.
One thing you learn growing up in Wisconsin is that Milwaukeeans have such a well-developed and deep-seated inferior complex that their only response is to lash out and try to make everyone as miserable as they are. Ask anyone who has lived in Madison or Chicago about dealing with these yahoos and their pin-dick syndrome.
Ike: I feel yer pain buddy. It's o.k. You ARE good enough.

What makes the car feel slow is the absence of a massive amount of torque, no hit like a hammer. What makes this car fast in reality is its not-so-bad-at-all acceleration and its incredible roadhold and steering precision.
As far as all this turbo this and NOS that, most of these people can't drive, and think that the power will make up for that. So they go out judging what the best car is "one 1/4 mile at a time" and by looking at hp numbers. My friend just got a S2K but said he likes drag racing. He said he's going to smoke my 8. I asked him why he thought that and he says because I have more hp and a quicker quarter mile time. Now what WRONG with this picture? He also says I should get a turbo so I can have 400-500hp. Another, person says this about my 8, and somebody else says that .... blah, blah, blah.
The 8 is for fast DRIVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys, I've said this before, stop being sucked in by the Ike's and Blue Eyes of this world. They spent many of their 4000+ threads acting like the 1st class ******* that they are. Who gives a F what they think, especially considered that each post is as predictable as the last one.
Maybe if we ignore them than they can go back to putting stickers and wings and stuff on their 4 cylinder Jap econoboxes, and stop wasting space on our site.
