RX8 Nooob..

Alright fellas, well I just sold my old car and this coming tuesday (9th) I will be the owner of a new TG RX8, 2005 - 18k 6spd..

Not the top of the line, but it's the closest thing around thats under warranty ( I live in BFE)

This was my old baby.. 1000 bucks to whoever can tell me what it is!!






I will post pictures of the new ASAP


AND NO - To answer your question - I will not post and ask questions without first using the search button ..


Appreciate it fellas.

It's 130hp through the front wheels that could be taken off the line by a Honda Fit, with some extra plastic thrown on, enough extra weight to seal it's status as painfully slow.

You're right, it's pretty close to 130hp...

you aint seen nothin. Check out a 350Z forum sometime.....

As for the cougar, not my style but serious props for having a kick *** engine. I'm sure you'll appreciate some good ol' RWD after that monster though.

Ya'll are right - I did what I could with what I had, I had a better looking front bumper on it until I ran over a racoon and completely destroyed my other one.


It is a cougar - that's all it is, and as for rice - i see no rice.


But anyhow, My fiance and I need a bigger car, and I still wanted to compromise - So, the RX-8 is the outcome.


As for future plans, very few.

Wheels/Eyelids/Corners.. who knows, i'll do some more research on them.

but I appreciate the kind words, ladies.

You're the one with a riced out Cougar and a dyno reading from a car that doesn't belong to you. Who's the ******* now?

Ya know I read this thread again and I'm thinking "Gawd, what a bunch of ********"..

But...but...it's just so much MORE fun to be an ******* than to say "Hey, cool beans, welcome to our spiffy club!!"

And then I'm refraining myself from jabbing at why someone would put so much money into a POS Mercury Cougar. I can even remember those commercials where they tried to pawn it off as a James Bond style sports car..
