RX8-Snowmobile : )
I took a few pics today after testing out my new snow tires (Dunlop WinterSport M2's) in a park by my house. After I scrubbed the mold-release compound off the best I could with some spirited dry street driving, I went into this parking lot and did some braking, corning, and accelerating tests to get a feel for the limits on snow & ice (this lot had 1", which is now melted down to 1/2" with a nice layer of ice underneath). It handled wonderfully... very little wheelspin on take off, and fantastic braking and corning.
Anyway, here a few outside shots of my new toy... ; ) |

I know that parking lot... if I ever get winter tires, we could practice syncronized maneuvers! Nice looking car, BTW.

Originally posted by brothervoodoo How does that black car stay so clean in the snow, impossible! Nice shots. Actually, it's not very clean... I haven't touched it since I brought it home Saturday morning. I think the secret is there's a very uniform layer of salt and road grime on it... on a cloudy day it's not too noticeable. With snow in the forecast the rest of the week, it's just going to get dirtier until Friday when I put that bad boy away for Christmas break for a two week slumber in the garage. I'm thinking a nice Zaino treatment might be in order before I split for Florida. |

Found two more on the camera that I didn't post:

Last one... it really takes a lot of angles to capture the curves of the RX8 on film, doesn't it : )

Your black 8 looks great contrasting with the snow. I'll bet that was fun too! :)

Hot & Cold.....I think our threads should be tied together...both great lookin' 8's in great looking terrain. I'd love to see a picture of that.

Man your car looks sleek with that snow!!! (It was nearly 70 yesterday!!!, but I'll be in Minnesota for 2 weeks starting next week!!!)

Your RX-8 looks so nice. I too, an enthralled with the Black & Chaparral. It's by far the classiest combo to be had IMO. Cheers! :D

The contrast of the black on white is awsome.

hey G8rboy, your car isn't gonna stay looking that clean for long...i too have a black one, out here in the West Suburbs and every little spot is noticeable...if you ever see another black 8 with strakes and clear corners, you'll know it's me! i did just buy new tires as well, white rims with Blizzaks

I still haven't seen another 8 around here that wasn't in front of a dealer. In my trip to SoFla and back on the other hand, I saw a dozen in two weeks. -Sean |
well, i've only seen a total of 3 here in Chi-town...1 is often here on the boards and drives a red one (lives by me, around the Wheaton/Naperville area), another drives a yellow one and i saw up in Schaumburg at Tower nighclub (we did the nod), and another over by Wrigleyville in a black one...i spoke with the porter that was driving me to the train station after i dropped off my car for various problems and he told me that the 8's were selling like hotcakes...he said they sold 3 demos cars already and at least 2 shipments of pure, unadulterated 8's
