C&D Video on their 10 Best - '05 Best Sports Coupe of the year. Pretty much sums up my feelings about the RX-8.

At first I was lame when timing the foot with the timing of the shifting , but as with just about any new toy ,I got to say that now my baby just absolutely has an orgasm when it gets slipped in just in the right way....It simply a natural.

Former C&D editors did know how to drive them. They actively raced a RX2 and RX7 in SCCA Club Racing. One of the editors (I think it was Don Sherman) was the one that set a land speed record with the Racing Beat RX7. There are videos of that car going out of control at Bonneville. Of course that was before they got the bugs out of the car.
