Importmania.com is trying to woo RX8 owners to come to their forum. It all came to a head yesterday in a thread that's now deleted. Basically the admin over there thinks the 8 is a " POS" and that we're all "poor" and "stupid" for buying them. Let's just say that the environment over there for 8 owners is less than welcoming. I think 97zimmer from over there is doing his homework and is now trying to mend fences. :D

i really am i want to know how the rx-8 works, its stats etc. im extremly open minded when it comes to learning more about cars. that conversation was just an exuse for me to have a reason to research and do my homework on the rx-8. and that top gear vid shows that for less money you get the same car..

Aye, RX8 can't really be conveyed by magazine numbers. Sure, it's low on torque, but once you get it wound up, it's like driving a 4 wheeled motorcycle. Tons of fun, but if you try to drag race it, you're just going to get embarassed. If drag racing is your thing, you'll hate this car. If you autocross or road race, you'll be in love.

Import?

I'm still not seeing why it would be bad for 'Importmania'......

Is this site JUST for 350z traffic? :p
Do you not consider the '8 an import?
What reason would make it 'bad' for your import forum?

Yes we have rx8 guys over there and they have no problem with us! So all you need to do is join one forum and thats it! I hate the fact that I got to join 50 different forums including this one to be able to check out and talk to people about there rides. Do i think RX8's are import super cars, yes you betcha!

I bet if you were to delete some of your ridiculous cracks on the 8 on your site, more people would be inclined to join.
