The gearbox is amazing, handling is exceptional, the car is just plain exciting to drive. Had torque in my S4 and did not enjoy it as much as this. I love it. Here are some pics.
WOw that is one good looking 8. Please consider using zaino or rejex so you can take more pics for us in the future!!!

Here are some interior photos taken by my dad. As you can see, he is not good at it so bear with it.

The pictures (while still nice) just don't do the color justice. You need to see it in real life. I saw it in person at the DC Autoshow.

The wheels are polished. Hard to tell from the pics, sorry. They are not high polished with a chrome look but they are definitely shinier and glossier then the standards. Like it was said earlier, you have to see it in person to appreciate it. Everyone that sees it comments about how nice the color is. It also has a chromoscope effect. Looks deep red at sundown and candy apple red in sunlight. I freakin love it.

Just picked up my Copper Red Shinka tonight!




I'm really happy OEM Spoiler / Rotary Accent package to be added in a week or so.

I have more pics in my album HERE !

I haven't seen a pic of the Copper Red on here yet that captures the sharpness that I saw when I was looking at one right in front of me.

Here are two quick pics of my new CRed 8 while i was waiting for the paperwork to be finished. Do these pics capture teh sharpness that you are talking about.
The Copper Red looks different in the light

I try to take more pics this weekend or next week when i have more time.

Congrats on your 8 too

Ya. The exterior and interior colors add some serious class to an already super sporty ride.

8's rule...

Copper Red rules! Got mine 3 weeks ago. Still debating if I should get a spoiler. Do these come with clear turn signals? Cuz mine is the standard orange. And there are different side view mirrors?

First, congrats on the 8. Second, Congrats on the color. To answer the clear corner question it is to my knowledge that all the RX-8s sold in the States come with orange turn signals. if you want clear corners they about $85 for a pair. that is if you can find a site that has them in stock. I'm still searching.
A spoiler on the 8 would be nice. If you have the appearance package than a spoiler would be needed to balance out the rear of the car.

Either ways great car
Post some pics of the 8 when you get a chance

That shot shows you the hidden, almost bright red in the paint. That's basically what I mean. When I saw one in bright sunlight I was impressed.

Nice, but they seem to get pretty dusty real fast from what I have seen.

Just means more wash and wax.
