Up here in the northeast we have a saying (pls take no offense) and a town called Marblehead.....it goes like this...you say what you said and we say....
"Ahhh...the dawn breaks over Marblehead...ha ha ha:D "
Isn't it nice to learn of yet another wonderful Easter Egg that was loving designed into the 8?

If you'd like to see the difference, so to my website at
www.scottbarton.net/anthony
and then click The Glen and look at those videos. "A_Lap_and_a_Half_at_WGI" is with the 325is and the others are with the RX-8.

Not that i really care that you know... err..., think ; ) I'm an idiot, but i did scope out the area first and tested it at slower speed before going fast enough to lift off.
With the G35, we were using cell phones to assure that the road was clear.
