Rx8 Turbo huh? Must be a pathetic excuse for a turbo. I thought that we agreed that FWD and RWD comparisons aren't quite fair. Oh well.

If there was a passenger in the Civic though, he would be out the window by the time the vid is over. That seat was bumping around the whole time!

wasn't the road condition wet though? Wouldn't that contributed to the Rx8 being slow-er? Well the Civic was also a very very very light car compare to the 8.

You did not know in Japan they drive on the right side? In Hong Kong they do it as well, and England, lol. Obvious their "shotgun" would be on the left side then.

The guy driving the civic was definitely the more experienced driver... just look at how busy he was trying to keep the car on the road.

The RX-8 driver appeared to be driving with little effort. I bet the drivers had way more to do with the results than the cars themselves. Put the civic's driver in the RX-8 and he will win by an even greater margin

lol! nice try. I prefer driving on the "right" side, and so does my girlfriend . I do not know why, but I feel more comfortable when driving on the right instead of the left. Maybe I am just weird .
