slow starter/dead battery
first let me start by saying that i did do a search, my results were about puting in a battery, or weather or not to use a red top or yellow top battery.
My problem is, i just bought this car last night, but i hve noticed that it seems to start realy slow, like the battery is dead. is this how they all start, or is it just mine. i am really thinking it is my car.
anyways, any response would be great.

Why spend money on something you really don't need. Save your money for things you DO need, like fender strakes and clear side markers. Good luck with your new car!

No its not how all 8's start and its normal for you to buy a new car and get a dead battery. After all they do just sit there...

yeah, i did forget to mention that i have had seven RX-7's. so i know the sound of a rotary. but the 8 just sounds like its about to die. i didnt even think about it just sitting there. thanks, i think i might have them check it out.

I've read in at least one other thread on this site that the 8 ships with a weak OEM battery. I've noticed the same thing about the way it cranks sometimes, and I'm holding out for it to embarass me one morning so I can get it replaced under warranty.
