RX-8 in the June Car and Driver

The June Car and Driver pits the 2008 Audi TT againg the Ford Shelby GT, The Nissan 350Z and the RX-8!

THe RX-8 takes FIRST PLACE! - Amazing really since it does not do so well in the 0-60, 1/4 mile and lap times at Las Vegas Srping Mountain Motorsports Ranch. It also got the worst Fuel Mileage (Duh).

:...That's not to say some extra power isn't sorely needed here -- it is, but even at the ripe old age of five, the RX-8 pleaes us the most." - C&D

Well I must admit, I did not use the search function, but I did do a quick scroll down the page and honestly did not see the other posts. A repost of some GOOD news is not a bad thing since some of the posts here can be either complaints or just a waste of time.

SWOOPE - I have been a member before you, yet you have almost 6000 more posts, It's very clear ONE of us does other things than read/reply posts here.

IMPUT1234 - I put the 'DUH' at the end of the 15 mpg because by now EVERYONE and their Mother in the freakin universe knows the RX-8 gets terrible fuel mileage, although I have always gotten better than 15!

Alfy28 - You need a new music collection if you can remember words to Commodores songs!

So yes, after 500 times posting I did a repost, so what? YOU ALL TOOK THE TIME TO READ IT AND REPLY! - You all need to get away from the computer and go DRIVE your RX-8! or do something else! - lol
