So if your girlfriend and you were in the car then you already have your "threesome." IMO

Wait a second. You're mistaken. You were'nt doing 69 when your girlfriend took this picture. It says 111.1 so you were going a lot faster than that.

Easy, slow down. 111.1 is very fast.

You know the T-REX can run even faster than the rx8.

Believe it or not I also have the 7th gear in my rx9. Really, no kidding. A T-REX helped me install it.

I think it would be 6th gear on the manual - 69 mph at just shy of 3500 rpm?

I would say 5th gear. Now way the RPMs would be that high on 6spd overdrive at interstate speeds.

That would be 6th gear. In 6th, your speed is double your RPM. So 3500 RMP, 70 MPH.

Hey there, there is an issue about logging on as someone other than yourself. It actually happened to me one time, the odd part, it happened right after I cleared my cookies and cache. I went to the rx8 webpage and then noticed I was logged-in as "merlot". I logged out and back in with my own username/pass and all was well again.

Hey Rx8Past,

I noticed the Prelude in your signature. I also have a 94 Vtec Prelude. Thinking of buying an RX8. How would you compare the ride between the two?

Thanks
