We sponsor the Falken RX8 drift car. It's not a "regular" RX8.

Read this,,,,
Falken Tire Mazda RX-8

If I were you I would do SCCA SOLOII Auto crossing or try your hand at NASA HPDE. Both of those programs will give you driving experience that you need.
Being the age that you are it would be beneficial to learn how to control the car at higher speeds. Rather than just try and do it on the street or in a parking lot.
You have years of experience and knowledge to gain.

I drive an AT and do very well with both these programs.

Get a GTO, insane amount of toque to be had, for little money spent.

Back on topic, I've got an AT, VERY disappointing in terms of toque/off-the-line performance (Hell, a mazda 6 can beat the AT RX8 off the line. Maybe because l used to drive a V8?). But, the car still puts a smile on my face every day l drive it. I've installed an AEM intake, grounding kit, radiator/air diverter, Borla exhaust and not one of them has added any real performance gains. The thing is, this car is tweaked so well out of the factory, that the only real power adders are your FI kits. This isn't like a GTO, where you can add a CAI and a mafless tune and gain 50-80kw.

I'd say if you really NEED more power, go with the manual. Otherwise, just mod the auto for the fun of it. Just don't expect too much out of bolt-on parts...

Oh, and get a starter button, best mod ever!
