They are typically logical and well thought out. There have been times that I did not agree with his argument(s); but I could probably count those on one hand, and with over 800 posts that says a lot to me.
I find that Mazda people are passionate people; passion for the automobile is what attracts many people to Mazda in the first place. To hold that against him is just not fair.
Admittedly Herc does not have the patience of a saint when it comes to people trolling through this forum. And to tell you the truth, I don’t blame him.

I think we all remember the daily morons that posted all kinds of profanity on the forum and got banned the same day... I think from themy my patience wears thin very quickly.
Thanks ZoomZoom; there's always that motto that if you don't have anything nice to say.. not to say anything at all.

This thread is a disgrace!
I've not seen so much posturing or so many personal attacks anywhere else on this board, and whoever said it's unacceptable was right. This forum is not about that, and you can be sure that we won't allow it.
We are all entitled to our opinions, mine are as follows...
1. That picture with the RX-8 badge in the grille is the worst picture of the RX-8 I've seen... yet it is mostly the picture, and not the car that's at fault.... the lighting makes the front look much more different than it really is.
2. The torque issue has been discussed, and it seems to me that the fiigure is meaningless unless taken in context of RPM's as well as weight and other factors.

pfft I dig mazda's and I'm more than likely getting the Mazda 6s. Just the Rx-8 in the lastest pix looks wayyy diffrent than the yellow machine we all see in the top left hand corner. Maybe it's the lighting??
dunnoo
Anyway immaturity reigns supreme here and I've been taught never to stoop that low. Which makes me thinks most of you are 10 year old magazine racers.

Torque
These torque complaints are of no concern to me. My 1981 RX7 had a whopping 100 HP, 105 flbs or torque (33% less than the Renesis).
The car was certainly not a drag racer, but it was a blast to drive. Isn't that really the main point behind the RX series of cars?

Ok, I'm sure someone is going to think I'm being an over-sensitive female, and maybe I am, but if you're going to point out you don't like something or someone, could you NOT refer to it as being gay? Call the car stupid and ugly, call the poster an idiot, call the entire forum a bunch of moronic ***-backwards dipshits, I don't care- but calling something gay is about as uneducated, biased, and insensitive as anything I can think of.
Sorry if I've offended anyone- that's just one word that really pisses me off when used as a derogatory term.

*sigh*
Thread is padlocked. Tis' sad to see it denigrate from a provocative styling opinion to flame-bait. Time to nip this one in the bud. Any thread start-ups attempting to revive this topic will result in the poster getting a surprise without warning. Enough is enough.
