So much is wrong with this article- from the 4k launch, shift at 7k, to the "performance computer" (read: g-tech) they used to get their numbers to the supposed 8500 redline...

Wow. That article is horrible. I can find so much wrong with that article. 0-60 in over 10 seconds. Their performance computer. Lol!!

We should all send in video's of our 8's going to 60 in a much quicker time than theirs, and just let them know they are utter idiots.

People like this should not be testing cars and writing about them. How about they test another car type against it's claimed 0-60 to see how bad they drive and how shitty their "performance computer" is before bashing only what they could achieve in an 8? Where were they testing, what were the weather conditions and what kind of experience did the driver have with an RX-8 before hand?

Don't worry, the Ziff Davis publishing company has been going downhill since the internet became mainstream.

I remember them teetering on bankruptcy a year ago. Perfect revenge for being so incompetent.
