Sorry if it's a repost. They got some pretty shitty acceleration times, but they did mention it handled better than the last Porsche they tested, and it was damn nice to see it in action.

The only thing about that Porsche comparison, is is it really fair? That 8 was not exactly stock - it had all sorts of suspension mods and $1400 wheels (apiece, I think).

Yes but the Porche costs 2X plus the price of the MS RX-8 with mods. Besides they were just giving a reference to how well the car does handle with the MS mods, I don't think it was meant as a put-down to Porche.

they said the only piece they wouldn't reccomend is the catback exhaust, yet they have no problem justifying a 3,500 dollar bodykit that adds weight to your car and creates drag...

a whopping 7.0 second 0-60, thats 1.1 seconds slower than stock, lets see what other unnecesary expensive parts we can add to our car to add weight and create drag to make our car slower!
