Props to our 8's! :)
Hi guys,
Some of you might have seen this already, but I thought it was a really cool race: To all the 8 bashers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkpC3...eature=related On a side note, that ITR really pushed the limit....do the Golf R32's and the Alfa 147 GTA's suck that bad? Anyway, this makes me really happy everytime I drive my 8! :) God Bless you guys! :) Ben. |
Good job RX8.
|
I've always been proud.... but that makes me :D
|
so it takes all the mazdaspeed parts to put us in the same league as a stock s2k........
|
...and still WAY less money!!

exactly. a stock s2k can buy you a full mazdaspeed rx8 (maybe not body kit) and you might still have a couple grand in your pocket

I've seen that before. They have a video in which each car eats the other one.

Gotta love cynical people. Just get an S2k or Evo or STi or something

the only thing ms my 8 has is side skirts. i'm gonna get a ms front bumper and a carbon fiber hood. i think that's all the ms stuff i'm gonna get.
|
Even if the 8 gets eaten alive by every car on the planet in performance, I still feel that it beats them hands down in looks. Seriously, how many people push their car to the absolute maximum on the streets? So for a semi law abiding citizen for whom absolute maximum very, very rarely comes into play, looks play a big part and I feel like I am light years ahead of all the other cars within a $20,000 price range.

Pretty cool. Yeah R32s are heavy, have bad weight distribution, and have the AWD to slow them down.
|
good stuff. this is a pretty cool race too

the S2000 looked faster than the RX8 in the first couple of laps. I wonder what happed to him ?
also the RX8 seemed to be be able to apply full power in mid corner where the other cars were waiting a bit longer. good job mazda ! |
people dont seem to understand, rx8 has a 1.3 liter with 4 seats!!and 4 doors!!! the s2k has a 2.2 liter with only 2 seats and 2 doors!!! of COURSE IT HAS to be faster!!! so nice to know that the 8 can keep up and still look better!
|
I know....I'm so happy that our 8's can keep up and be a very strong competitor to the S2K which obviously is like a go-kart with leather! lol :P You know what tho....the ITR with 205hp or so; probably the slowest out of the gang came in third, that's a marvelous effort. I used to own a 1999 ITR, and that thing pulled hard. Which is why I love my high-revving cars - hence my Rx-8! :)
