Well, that is putting a positive spin on it. That article has already been posted on this site.

No. I'm not happy with how the article came out. Just noted in my second post that I noticed a thread already started a few days ago. Got the mag in the mail today.............

Appreciating a Rotary powered car is like appreciating the finer things in life. I'll take the complete package of the 8 compared to just having high HP or superior 1/4 mile times. I've had higher hp rx-7 turbos that would set you deep into the drivers seat and even my slightly modified 1991 NA would woop *** on any stock mustang in this town. Camp Lejeune USMC drivers seem to own two types of vehicles.....big a** trucks and GT Mustangs. The one time I was surprised was when a huge dodge turbo powered diesel truck gave me and the turbo rx a run for my money.

Ok, back to my point, I've owned V8s, turbos, and all kinds of cars since 1976....

I'll take the handling, the high rev rotary, comfortable interior and the unique, sexy superior body design of the RX-8 any day!!!!

If anybody can't understand that...F them....they don't know what they are missing
