I used to be on VW forum and never saw any hates. Rsx forum had a few but not as much as here haha. Why do people hate so much?

blamerobb

because their ignorance blinds them.
the rotary technology is toooo much for some ppl to understand

Tweek

i dont exactly understand, there shouldnt be anyone hating on an 8 in here?

BuBuBDunk

No, other people. Not people in the forum. People hating on people that own 8's

I've yet to see 8 hate. Well, in person. There was that egg incident.

I hate RX8's forever.... cept mine.

I used to be a hater. I was a Honda guy once, and thought of rotaries to be like a bulb. Today it wors and tomorow it just goes out. But theres so much more to that. When you dont know something you go by what you hear, and sometimes you actually believe it to be truth. Ignorance might be the word you are looking for. Haters just dont know ****, even though the believe to know it all, or they just failed rotary owners who dont know better than to talk crap becouse they couldnt understand the way of the rotary. I repect everybodies opinion and car preference, and actually like, respect and enjoy other cars but nothing beats my 8.

yeah what about the "the rx8 is damn fast" thread?

I get nothing but looks complements and thumbs up when I drive my rx-8 around here

I always get the "its a girl's car" comment but i shut them up by asking them to have a ride in mine. Seems to work so far.

^I get the same ****.. at random parties when I drive my 8 there. Someone comes in asking hey whos rx8 is that? I say mine, their like that **** is sloww man and their buddies they come in with start laughing.


I ask what do you drive the normal answer comes out to a altima, grand am, civic, and sometimes f150 etc..

I say exactly and continue my convo with whomever i was speaking to at that moment before these fools came in. My comment always instigates more from their mouths and they tend to say my brother in laws, cousins, mothers, fathers, grandson has a 700hp camero that will whoop your ***. I say once again with your right but not on this road out here. The road is always on a curvy farm/cayon road that the parties are off of. The fools respond with bs the 8 is a slow boat and cant take turns.

I said you want to bet? $100 If you can ride in the passenger seat without flinching when I take this turn at 60 instead of rated speed of 15. They always say noo im not making that bet.

So I tell them to stop talking **** about things they dont know until they have the ***** to find out.

Happens at least 1 out of 4 parties I visit.

You sir are correct. However, I fear that I do not have the nerve to take a 15mph corner at 60, I dont doubt the car, just myself. But I would totally ride shotgun in the 8 with somebody confident in doing so, but seriously...thats fast.

Its very fast. And takes a lot of confindence. But also I know the turn very well and started slowly, for a couple hours till i got it. First did it at 30-40-50 a good 6 times and then tried 60 made it and worked on it even more.

I only will do that on turns I know very well, if I dont know it I dont **** wit it. Just like my women.

The answer is ignorance. They are not familiar with the rotary engine and therefore tend to believe what they hear and take it as truth.

+1. They hear 1.3 liter and think "Damn, what a crappy car."

The true car enthusiasts I associate with may give me grief from time to time just BSing over a couple beers, but they all respect my car for what it is.

Any naturally aspirated 1.3L engine producing this kind of power is impressive in most peoples opinions.

I get the most grief from Honda fanboys, 16-18 year old street racers, and muscle car fanatics.

BTW, my car, is by far, the slowest car in my 'crew'. My brother has a stroker vette, Challenger, my best friend has a built Evo X, and most of the 'mazda' friends have Mazdaspeed 3s that are far from stock.

All of which rarely say negative comments towards my car. In fact, they defend my car to me at times when I say it's slow.

Get new friends lol.

Peeps always fear and hate what they don't understand.

"Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering.... the Dark Side."

I sense much fear in them.

Opinions are a lot like ********.

Everyones got one and they all stink.

As cliche as it sounds, insults are usually derived from insecurity. I know this is true because its always the douche that has a rusted civic hatch that has to open his mouth about how slow my car is when his girlfriend says "wow, your car is hot!".

I love RX8s, especially my slow one

I think, don't know, that most of the hate spans from the FD and the fact that the 8 is not one. The FD was a monster and a well respected street race car. It was fast and when modded it was a beast.

Our 8's were not designed to be crazy fast in a straight line, but to be balanced and handle better than almost anything else on the road while still producing decent HP from a NA 1.3. Car enthusiasts get it, meat heads don't. Which is also why the car won best car in Japan and came runner up for best car U.S. when it was released.

I just find it hilarious how much **** honda guys (pretty much just civic owners) will talk ****. The si is a decent performance car, but they all like to act like it's 1 or 2 performance tiers higher than it really is.

We all know you have the slowest 8 anyway.
