They have many years of this under their belt.

Does the drive-by-wire throttle system on the RX-8 continue to react to pedal inputs after the key is turned to the "off" position as it does on the cable-controlled RX-7?

I am going on 29K miles. No flooding. I just never shut it off unless I get it to operating temp.

Hey Bunnygirl,

When is your car scheduled to arrive? I just ordered mine last week. It has a build date of March 1 and an estimated arrival date of April 28.

Maybe we can start our own anticipation club!
