what about a chinchilla. i have two of them and the rx-8 reminds me of them. i drive a sunlight silver rx-8 and my chinchillas are both grey. for those that don't know, chinchillas are somewhat of a mix between a squirrel and mouse. they are small, agile, and have a great coat....just like the RX-8

Harmless? An angry squirrel can bite a finger clean of your hand!

Def not a Cheetah. They get to 45mph in 2 seconds.

Rattlesnake - when you make mine angry it shakes its tail. (in the form of wheel hop)

The 8 is definitely a cheetah...

Short bursts of speed, not much overpowering force, but graceful and agile...

The Z is a leopard; a bigger animal, kills with brute force.

Muscle cars are lions; big, brutal, and afraid of no one.

Porsches and Ferraris are tigers; rare, elusive, exotic, and massively powerfu.

House cat. Friendly, comforting, quick, quiet smooth and steathy, polite, yet still has the bloodline of a true unmistakable predator. Put it in the right situation and you can watch the eye's focus, the instinct and bloodline take over as it over takes and rips the head off the smaller weaker cars on the road with style, then spends the afternoon comfortable in a sunny spot looking regal.

Looks-wise it reminds me a huge amount ot the early 70's corvettes.

I like cheetah as well - plus, my other car (winter, kids, etc.) is a FX45 which Inifiniti describes as the "bionic cheetah" (I have no idea what the hell that means).

Now I have 2 cheetahs?!

BTW, why does every new car have an "X" in it. I own an RX-8, FX45 and a MDX. I am getting ready to trade the MDX in for an RX330 (wife's car). Am I somehow brainwashed?

Here's a cool photoshop challenge - Fangs on an 8.

I agree.....very stealthy and quiet and very mean looking.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to say a viper, which a rattle snake is a member of the viper family. No other sportscar reference implied though. :p

And I like the bit about the tail rattle...

I'll have to agree with the mountain lion one. Still a cat, but not as fast as a cheetah or something else
