his 1980 rx7 would have a 12A in it, so it is a 1.2 litre.

i agree though, the burnout brought you down, way down, under their level of stupidity.

Greg

1308 cc to be exact

its wasn't really a burn out, heck i didn't even mean to do it, i was new to driving a stick and dumped the clutch by mistake my bad. :(

i should of made it clear that i was talking about my sa not my 8. only cooments i got so far about my 8 is that people think its fwd or awd.

thats a great comparison im going to start using that

i got my rx8 last year in march i think its the nicest car out of any one i work with, almost every day when i go into work someone says " dude, i love your car, can i have it?" or i get " im so jealous of your car" alot

all the time i get the question of "what is it?"

when people ask what kind of engine it has im like a rotary it spins round and round instead of up an down. so many people are so confused i just say google it

What do you tell them its comparable to, a V6 or V8 or why not V12... :lol2: Most people don't even know what I'm talking about when I tell them I don't have the same engine as theirs...

"its an rx-8. made by ferrari"

^^ lol WTF???

this is why I bought a rotar from a broken engine. This way when people ask, specially family, friend or neighbors I can just show them...

I also just suck at explaining without the visual.

i had a guy ask me in the tech 4less parking lot if it was the new mustang

i miss people commenting on my car daily and asking dumb questions. happens less with the miata (but more then if I had a civic :lol:)

I've had a few people argue with me about the my 8 being FWD, some people just refuse to believe the truth.

A dude once came to me while I was parking my 8 at my job and says: "NICE CAR MAN... IS THIS THE NEW BMW? I was like wtf? then when I told him it was the new mazda with the rotary engine he said: BUT IS IT A 4 OR 6 CILINDER? once again I went wtf?

no one ever has confused my car, but i guess in cali 8s arent as rare

I was washing my car about a month ago and some guy was staring at me and then came up and said "before I kill myself trying to figure it out, What type of car is that?" lol I was like an RX-8 and he was like man thats awesome. But I will say that i live in TN and most people here dont get off the mountain much lol jk

Man i want one of these ferrari lol thats hilarious

My signature says it all.

take the mazda logos off, slap a bodykit with diferent wheels , and people say it's the hottest $hit on the streetz.... it's just a mazda but not any mazda it's an RX8 that's what I say that makes the diference !!!

Everyone looks. Not many people say anything. Except my friends who think its a $40k car

I had a couple shout the question to me on the 401 after gesturing at me to lower the window... :)

cop pulled me over and said she thought it was a viper made me :)

I was in a mcdonalds drive through and the guy goes "whoahh is that a porsche?" Disgusted by his bad judgement call i grabbed my food and drove away...you must know ZERO about cars to make a statement like that lol

When I was driving for some time in this car, a lot of people didn't know what the car is (read : no one), except the kids who know it from Need 4 Speed. The reactions of the car were incredible, people screamed, photographed, and some guy said : "I can't believe I am standing near the Ferrari" xD. Local racers, just ask what size the motor is, and when you say 1.3 L they just turn their heads, but when you push the pedal, they respect it :)

Just tell people it is a Kia and watch their expression as you drive away

......They aint staring at the 8, it's U baby:score: They just use the 8 as a cover :D:
