looks like she corners well though.. and extremely light weight.. probably 1/2 the weight of the 8.

In a straightline the 8 may lose out by a small margin. But in the twisties, the 8 will school the horse & carriage. I would also give the nod to the rx-8's interior. Those bench seats don't look too comfortable. What's the size of those rims?

automatic will pwn the carriage more than manual because of better MPG

but in the long run, horse and carriage wins because it can go on for at least 20 years without using a single gallon try doing that with an 8
