Would that be on the Speed channel? Or is there another channel it's on?

Yeah, me too Herc! I swear I don't know what we did without it- going on 2 1/2 years now, and I still think it's one of the best things we ever bought.

My friends still don't understand but I'd shoot myself if I had to be without it

Would anyone know if that is Episode 78 ? That is the listing I find for this weekend of C & D on TNN. The only vehicle mentioned by name is the Viper.

Just got done watching the segment, which lasted ~ 6 minutes. No comparisons made to other vehicles with footage of the Red RX-8 going around Laguna Seca.

Now it's time to get a hold of mine for my own test drive...every day !!

Just saw the RX-8 on C&D television. They seemed to really like the car. Two things were mentioned as shortcomings.

1 Lack of low end torque
2 Needs more horsepower.

I'm not an expert, but I still think this car drives like a screamer!!

Love the exhaust sound under acceleration!!

The 5.9 sec 0-60 sounded good to me.
