I was looking at some Solo II results and came across this team called "Team WTF?!"

One of their members has an RX-8 and some have E46 M3.

Here is a cool article with the M3 guy comparing autocrossing the M3 to the RX-8.

(p.s. hope it's not a repost)...

 

I hate those guys! :D

 

Waste of bandwidth.... Those guys dont have a clue. :p :D

 

Autocrossing clyde's RX-8 the day after autocrossing my M3 is like the difference between typing with and without welding gloves.

Hahahhaha...that's a funny quote.

 

my favorite quote:

Fast and the Furious / Jah Rule

"It's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race it"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

All you have to do is watch some of their competition videos to know they don't have a clue...

 

That's only one of the M3 guys.

The following is an excerpt from an IM conversation back in May between the RX-8 guy and one of the other M3 guys (names changes to protect the guilty):

 

LOL...

I love your website. You guys have a great attitude.

 

Thanks...

I stand by every word, though since clyde has found someone else to co-drive (and since I chickened out on my last car purchase and didn't get an RX-8), I haven't had the chance to autocross one recently.

 

Our competitors say the same thing...

 

yeah, we say "WTF?!" every time they show up :p


help should arrive today

 

Some help arrived this morning.

Hopefully PEPCO will turn the lights in my neighborhood back on before I get home from work so I can see it.

 

Actually, I download their competition videos to listen to the in-car commentary. :D

 

Thanks. It can be kind of easy, sometimes, to start taking it all too seriously. The team concept and the site help serve as reminders about why we're doing it at all...which is to have fun and a good time.

 

*******. You shouldn't quote me.

...that total is kind of scary. And my steering rack still sucks giant, hairy *****.

But at least my fat, overweight monster isn't nearly as underpowered. :neener:

 

:D :D

 

Which reminds me, I'll have to start talking more during my runs. Or cursing. Whatever.

 

I guess now we know who he quoted :D

 

HA! I can't wait for the next auto-x i can make it out too.

I'll get a chance to see what team WTF is all about.

 

Very interesting. When it was time for me to replace my old E36 M3, my two final choices were the E46 M3 and the RX-8. Most who can afford an E46 M3 wouldn't consider an RX-8, but I had a soft spot for my old RX-7s and just had to give the RX-8 a try. Sure the power was far better in the M3, but for daily driving I can't really use it. The RX-8, on the other hand, had this light and nimble handling balance that felt so perfect in comparison.

I don't know if Team WTF is clueless or not, but this guy's story confirms my own feelings about why I chose the RX-8 over the M3.

 

Team WTF?! mobile prevails at Northeast Division Championship! :p

Congrats, John. :buttrock:

 

Yeah, nice results. RX8s cleanin up in BS.

Did you run?

 

All over me.

We both drove kinda poorly, which seems to be becoming a theme lately. We finally replaced the OE front bar on Saturday morning with the TeamRX8 bar and just barely got it done before our heat started. The bar seems like a significant improvement (much better transitions with only a tiny bit of additional push in the really, really slow stuff). I'll have on car video of John and I at www.teamwtf.org later tonight. Those will easily offended ears may want to mute their audio for my Saturday runs, though.

 

I guess you watched the video then. Exactly how "all over the place" was I? :D
