Great find!

Id have to say that the rx-7 and rx-8 are 2 different cars with the only sharing factor being a rotary engine

Nice video. I liked how the guy changed his mind on how well the 8 was for handling and power. To bad all 8 haters would not go and test drive one to see how well they are made and fun to drive.

fitting how you didn't show the tsukuba race in that same volume of BM... the one where the rx8 barely beats the NB miata and gets stomped by the Skyline Coupe, S2K, WRX, and even the DC5-R

awesome. I do almost lean to the paid advertising though.

I dont see why you guys say paid advertising, this is from the same issue as stated before. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Y0KLnCKE6Dc

is rick astley the new Chuck Norris of the internet?

Crap like this just confuses me? Do people think its clever or funny? some one explain? As far as I know it all started with pirates versus ninjas, and then every so often all the intenet automatons just copy the next stupid thing...

PS the original film just buffered to hell and back for me, thenkept showing me adverts not RX8s

Thank Family Guy for the Rick Astley onslaught. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQohgN6iF0s

Made every 10 - 30 year old who watch family guy think Astley is one big joke (although, to be fair, he kind of is a joke....)

Having both the FD and the RX7, I can attest to what he is saying about the suspension and how both od them drive. Although I still believe the RX8 deserves a little more juice under the hood.

Thumbs up!

What about on the Rotary Revenge one where the 8 comes back (Although its A-spec, I dont know what they did to it, probably Flywheel and MS parts?)

the RX8 enters corners faster than an S2000, but doesn't have enough power for fast corner exits...

having test driven almost everything (the skyline coupe is the G35 coupe which = 350Z) on that list except for a Type R, but I've driven the new Si, the RX8 is def underpowered, it needs more torque...

but as an attest to it's great handling, look at how it compared to the WRX for laptimes...only a second slower. the WRX doesn't handle as well but has MUCH more power. Remember we're not talking hp, but under the curve, if the RX8 made the same hp but say 1.5x the torque it would be much much faster.
