Damn, that guy knows nothing about the RX-8. He said it would outrun a 350z and infinity G37. He even said it was one of the fastes production cars ever made Now I can't beleive anything else this guy ever says. Bad info

i like how he didnt say anything about how bad the gas is and hasnt improved at all since it was first introduced in 1957.. and "its the fastest sports car" lol.. what is he smoking. lol.. but he is right about the back seat and rear doors.. sport cars dont need them but it is nice once in a while.. Even on top of that he said it has a PERFECT WANKEL in it. lol.. i guess he doesnt know that they like to blow up.

LOL, that was the funniest **** I've ever seen. I had to keep looking at the car to make sure he was talking about an RX-8. He could at least act like he knew anything about the car or any cars for that matter. That's the last time I watch that show. lol

Yea. . . I made sure to DVR this.
I agree. There is a reason most of us have probably never heard of this show before. It was stupid. That guy didn't know anything about reviewing cars. It seemed like this guy never even read a car and driver article in his life.
Don't get my wrong. I love my 8. But I know it has short comings. Its not "fast" like a 350Z - meaning in a straight line - and if the rotary is so perfect.... why is the rx8 the only car in production with one? If it were that much better, someone else would try one.
It almost makes me feel like we're the idiots that want so much to be different that we have an engine that is cool, but not nearly the best option for the type of car we want to drive.
