JeRKy 8 Owner

I'll wait till it reaches basic cable

i hope there is more than only one rx-8...

That looks like a female driving. I hope all of the 8's featured in the movie are not driven by females, no offense ladies. I just dont know what the general public would think afterwards. I dont feel like getting into a contest about the appearances of the 8, if its a vehicle for a man/woman, or who should be driving them, etc. I for one can hold my own if someone was to speak anything about the 8. Dont want an fellow owner being bashed by another sports car driver and not be able to defend the 8. This all funny to me at the same time, especially for those of you who secretly utilize their car to inveigel women. Alright, off the soapbox, done with exaggeration.

Amen for democracy

The older generation will think like you. The younger generation will priase this movie.

Either way, the RX-8 gets a wrap as any publicity is good publicity

Turboed or Supercharged. You can see that huge *** intercooler gnarling at you from the front.
Yeah, whoever said they prolly used NOS to keep up with other high powered cars... you are correct. Turboed or SCed + NOS

If I remember correctly, the people they used in the movies,(1&2) the majority of them couldn't drive a stick so they had to get automatics.

I don't understand how someone is acting in a driving/racing movie, yet they can't really drive...

DOMINION

No they can drive. They put them in racing school and had to wait for that one Girl to hit 16 so she can get her DL lol! and on that one show Regis and Kelly Paul W. Said he now ownes a GT-R.

At first from the preview I did not know that this was an RX-7, until I got a hold of this pic.

Referencing back to how Lil' Bow Wow is useless - His characters name in the movie "Twinkie"....

Serioulsy

I couldn't make that up if I wanted to!

StealthFox

that wouldn't make any sense even if she was driving on public roads its all blocked off and approved to do shoots there and stuff so no matter where they are its counted as "off road" so no one needs to have a drivers license...and all the actors are doing in the racing scenes it doing headshots when they're talking smack to eachother or whatever, its stunt drivers actually doing the driving.

eastaznboi

that car still hardly looks like an rx-7 imo. looks more like an s2000, maybe because it's yellow i'm pretty sure everybody will be wondering what kind of car that is during the movie.

StealthFox

are you trying to say yellow is un-rx7 like?

stupidCivicstrixAre4kids

looks more like a lotus to me.....

stupidCivicstrixAre4kids

the 350z is the star of the movie......
But that scene with z drifting upwards on that spiral road was pretty awesome... I hope the 8 will get more screentime....

I never had even heard of a supra until the first movie came out

Well the funny thing is I am only 18. Let me add a bit to my post. I love the fact that every time I drive I rarely ever see another 8 and i live in atlanta, so im not in the middle of no where. If i see one Its never more than 1 per day. I love that. I want the 8 to get publicity but i dont want to get so much publicity that I cant go a day without seein a few 8s. I like the fact that it looks very different from everything else on the road and dare i say even exotic looking. I dont want people to get immune to the looks of the 8. Honestly the 8 is a real head turner. When i drive i always see people in much more expensive cars staring at that 8. That is really special and if we have people ricing the hell out of the 8 on every corner that will ruin that specialness. So as i stated before some screentime will be good for publicity, sales and aftermarket but too much could be bad really.

amen to that! however, i was the first on my street (near Baltimore) to get one and now there are three - and my street is not even a 1/4 mile long.... look what i started...!

dd sends...

terretsboy

I agree completely. I hardly ever see an 8 in Dayton or St. Louis. The fact that most people don't know what it is adds to the mystique. People will always assume that it is some expensive fancy exotic car when it is really just sex on wheels.

FlyingLeggs

I don't get why just about everyone bashes these movies. Yeah the acting kind of sucks and the some of the stunts are a little unbelievable (ie the nitroed ride in f and f jumping the bridge....ok), but so what it's an action movie about cars. Anyone expected an award winning nomination is barking up the wrong tree.

DOMINION

Yup. Not much you can do with cars in a movie. Other than race around just like in TheTransporter. I gues they can try shooting at eachother lol!

mike1324a

My point exactly! Sex on wheels!

i live in cincinnati and see at least 10 8s a week (though some may be repeated spottings). i'd hate for it to get as common as an eclipse or a civic. i work for a rental car company and park my car out front every day. i get complemented on it about every day too - someone's always asking if they can rent it. it's a great looking car stock, but if people do starting ricing it out, i may have to part with it sooner than i would like.

StealthFox

why would other people having it and other people ricing it out change how you feel about your car? the rx8 will be as common as a high 20k car can be, it cant get to a level of a civic. its also not going to be the rarest car you ever see, because its a high 20k car. and the fact of the matter is all cars get riced out so if you part with it and get the next thing, chances are, it will get riced out too, but that shouldn't affect your opinion of the car in the first place...
