Not bad, plus they had some nice FD footage. :cool:

0-60 in 5.9. Not bad.

That hostess is super annoying.

Edit: There's a rerun tomorrow (Sunday) at 12:30 pm on TNN for those of you that missed it today.

I love the sound, video and 5.9 0-60 to boot. Great review!

I already have it recorded. I am now converting it to MPEG.

My MPEG convert is done and I'm uploading it to my webserver now.
The first 10-15 secs or so of intro are cut off but all the RX-8 footage is intact.


edit: here it is!

Right click and hit Save Target As...

Please mirror this, as I will remove the file after today due to bandwidth restraints.

Thanks laferle!

Much appreciated. I watched it on TV but I do want a copy for my PC to archive :)

laferle,

thank you for getting these up so quick, they really made me grin from ear to ear.

thanks,
james

I also recorded the entire segment and encoded it to MPEG, but don't have anywhere to host it. :(

MPEG:
4min 50sec
320 x 240 29.97fps
600kbps VBR MPEG-1
160kbps stereo
26.2 MB

To me, the lack of torque is really just a result of the power band being so linear. There's no place it really peaks, but instead, it has smooth power delivery throughout the rev range.

Also, I prefer a drivng style of sticking it in the corners, rather than trying to break the tires loose and power slide through them (as the C&D drivers were attempting in the footage). Power sliding on asphalt seems to be inefficient and time consuming. I think the RX-8 will excel at sticking itself in the apex and gluing itself to the pavement, in part, due to the lack of "peaky" torque.

Just my opinion... I'm not worried about maximum torque.

Can anyone mirror my MPEG? I'm sorta taking one for the team here on my bandwidth allocation :)

I just finished watching the review that I taped, all i have to say is WOW

they were allowed to drift that car around the corner!!!! :eek:

looks so much fun!!!!

There ya go! :D

I have some running around to do, but I will later capture a full-res version for everyone's archives... This should at least get everyone who can't watch the show, C&D's opinion on what we already know as being an awesome car...

I am uploading another mirror now...

Done..

Thanks!
 

Downloading now!

Thanks for this guys, I'll see if someone on the europe forum can mirror for us in the UK.

Can't wait, but with dial up I'll have to!:(

stunned silence is all i can muster... i still can't believe how legitimately fast this sucker is... i just can't f*ckin' believe it... wow...

It is very impressive - but after seeing the C&D video I downloaded the Best Motoring ones - holy crap, words fail me. But then I suppose that driver could make a Corolla look damn fast.

Awesome video, awesome drifts!

am i the only one just getting the Audio?
