My point about the STI and Evo were not that you should buy one for whatever reason. The point was that those cars are fast production cars, yet the owners of them still tune them and make them faster. Automobile companies design vehicles to match a certain price/performance/style. It's almost always compromise.

The 8 COULD be faster, but it would be more expensive, or have a less elegant demenor.. just as the STI and EVOs could be more luxurious, but would be more expensive, or slower.. On the other hand, for enthusiests, what is fast enough???

Of course, some people are not used to compromises.. Or reading.

 

Emailists - I see you're a senior member with 162 posts - so I am disappointed you're unhappy with the RX8 - I'm not intertested in your car as there are three Mazdas in the driveway. Hope you get a reasonable price for it. Enjoy the next car - whatever it is.

86rx7 - I think one problem with some 'fast car' buyers is they actually believe the hype about simple upgrades such as a intake and exhaust. They may add something but never the advertised hype. Mazda in the Renesis engine has in many ways tuned the engine of the second generation RX-7. There will be little to gain with simple off the shelf 'upgrades'. Others think tuning and neon go in the some sentence.

I wish more undesireables would get rid of the '8. I hate having my club littered with jackasses and malcontents.

 

You hate the car. So what? Why, exactly, did you post this? Does it change your opinion of the car? No. Does it **** off other members for no reason whatsoever? Yes.

So, basically, you decided to troll, because you can't take the time to do research on a car before someone bought it for you. Good. Don't do it again.

 

This was a total Joke- there is no way I'm selling this car

 

JeupRX-8, you sure don't TALK like a high-class person, you sound like a longshoreman. Just because your parents have money does not make you high class. Class shows in your actions, not your money.

Your language was inappropriate to the point that forum members were complaining. Please clean it up in future posts, so I don't have to again.

It is unclear to me if you even own this car. In your first post you say you "have this car for a 5 year loan" and further down you say that your father paid cash. What, did you sign loan paperwork with him? Not likely.

But giving you the benefit of the doubt that you do have the car, then what you are experiencing is called buyer's remorse. Or, in your case since you didn't buy it, perhaps we should call it "owner's" remorse. Regardless, you have 2 options: Sell the car and have your father buy you a Corvette, Mustang, or 350Z if you want to modify it, or a BMW M3 if you just want a nice fast car that is not "such a poser." Option 2 would be to show a little patience and wait for the forced induction kits that will soon be on the market, all of which will yield at least 300 HP - and 300 HP in a 3000 Lb car will blow the doors of your friend's 3500 Lb 350Z.

 

Thanks Omicron ... nothing worse than some snot-nosed kid bitching like we care.
