Rx8 Vs. Evo Viii
 

Hey Guys I Know This Topic Has Been Discussed Many Times Before, But I Jus Wanted You Guys To Help Me Out In Telling Me Wats Better In The 8. Most Of My Friends Juss Talk Smack On The 8 And I Wanna ****'em Up Cuz I Dont Know Too Much Bout My Car. I Know Its A Better Looking Car And Its Smooth As Hell. So Any Comments Would Be Appreciated:) Thnx!! Btw I Wanna Say Something To Make Them Shut The Hell Up

wtf is your problem?

i will have to go with the STi on this one. i IMHO Sti> Evo 8 just me though

New camaro>*


Kick em in the balls...that should shut them up

Then go find a Military Recruiter to save you from yourself! :) Maybe you'd pick up esteem and wisdom; instead of giving two rats' asses about what your friends think about your car.

:D

tell your friends taht your car came FI from the factory. Then they will shut up. I notice you dont know much about your car. But you didnt know your 8 is FI?

Amen.

If you don't know much about your car, perhaps you should do some research instead of looking for others to tell you how to argue or what to think. I'm perplexed that you bought the car, but don't know much about it.

your mom goes to college...

First of all, I assume you have an 8?

Second, what do you care what they say?

Third, take the high road and refuse to argue...... takes all the fun out of it for them.

Last, it's a good thing they put a big spoiler on the Evo, otherwise you can't tell if it's going forward or reverse. Just kidding......

evo wins in performance. straight line, around a track, etc.

rx-8 wins in interior quality, exterior looks (to most people tho the evo x looks great), and comfort.

...and of course the rx-8 handles better.



(i kid about the last one). if you're trying to think of a performance thing that the 8 beats the evo in, just give it up. the 8 isn't in the evo class for performance. but then again only the sti really is (for the price range).

just becareful though, if you're asian like I am, you'd be stereotyped bigtime driving around in an EVO.... "omg, he hops off the boat and buys an evo... how typically asian"

EVO's will romp the hell out of a stock 8, but it's not as refined.

Get a turbo and rape your friends, or just enjoy your car the way it is.

How old are you?

I'm surprised nobody has given the link to thread just a few threads down about the exact same thing.

Don't be so shore about the Evo vs RX8 on a Road Course. On a tight course, stock for stock, an Rx will do just fine. The Evo pushes, stock, whereas the RX will induce oversteer. Also, remember the tires on an Evo stock are a ton better than the ones on an RX.

Autocross I give the RX-8 the edge, anything bigger than that like a real road course and the RX-8 is going to have a tough time IMO. Though you've had more seat time in the RX-8 than I have, from my limited driving it just seemed like the RX-8 would need some suspension work to keep up in the turns. Perhaps that's the body roll playing tricks on me. Either way, they both handle great.

On a more open-road course, where the Evo could use it's power to rotate, yes, the RX would be in trouble, but on an autocross course, where most of your time is lost shifting, a 9RPM red line, and a balanced car, mean good times :).

I know you do a lot of trackdays but do you autox much?

Ahhhhhhhh ahhhhahahahaahahaa

what kind of stupid question is that? tell your friends to can it, who gives a crap? people have different goals and objectives when buying a car and not everyone wants straight up performance for the money(which is not even that true considering when you get into project cars with 20k you can build many many different kinds of cars that will hand it to an EVO) and if you were looking just for #'s an evo or used z06 would have been the car for you.

if ur friends are dumbasses that put down a car like the rx8 just because it's slower than their car, then maybe it's time for u to find other friends :)

oh my... read some magazines... i dont know, educate yourself man!!! Evo is great, rx8 is great, but they're great in different things...

My god dominion your pictures are awesome. No im not talking about the boob ones :-)

Does anyone know which thread contained the owls with o really and yeah really? I lost track of what the discussion was about but i wanted to save the owls for future use ;-)

Dudes will dig the Evo.
Chicks will dig the 8.

I guess your friends have made their choice.
