OP, the average age of this forum is slowly dropping as the price of the car makes it possible for 16 year olds to buy the car in the first place. But actually yes, our average age is probably OVER 30. (Me included)

And yes, we dislike teenagers coming on the forum thinking they are the best drivers around, posting topics that the rest of us despise (because of the inherent danger to themselves, pedestrians, and other motorists...it's just downright stupid), and generally assuming that you know everything right from the handing over of your license.

It is rare, EXCEEDINGLY rare, that a teenager joins the forums and is respectful, intelligent, does his research, and is responsible about his driving. You have so far not met any of these 4 points. And this is why you are getting the reception you are.


This forum has been around for 9 years now, 8 with the car in production, and during that time it has been filled with MASSIVE amounts of information. Quite a bit of it bad or old, or obsolete. Everything is here for you to find. INCLUDING many many examples of kids hopping on the forum talking up their car, and then either disappearing, posting up "i wrecked and didn't have insurance" threads, or other "i need help because I was a moron".

RX-8's simply don't survive in the hands of teenagers for any one of a dozen reasons, and we hate to see that. Especially when you start off EXACTLY like so many before you that destroy their 8s from stupidity.

1. Posting about street racing is against forum rules.
2. You're trying to act tough and calling out seasoned members who have been more than helpful for a number of years.
3. After acting tough and failing, you're hiding behind your age. That's just making it worse.
4. No 16 year old kid is a "good" driver. You just haven't wrecked...yet.
1. True and even embarassing when losing
2. Poser...and a bannable offense...read the rules
3. My doesnt the testosterone flow at that age
4. Just a matter of time

and to answer your question you will always lose at the line because our cars have no torque. Its FI or GTFO
