Hey whats up everybody, Im planning on getting a stock rx8 this summer. Im most likely getting an 04-05 and will definitely get something 90,000 miles or less with a good running engine and transmission. I plan on having this car only to tear **** up on the road, places like the track, canyons, and streets. I have a honda civic for my daily driver car aready. I also want to drift the car. Does the rx8 drift fine stock? How would the car be reliability wise for me driving like this? Will I have constant expensive problems with the car? I'm currently a student in auto technology and am 18 years old. I'm not gonna do anything stupid like shifting the wrong gears and messing up the transmission. Would keeping up with this car be an expensive habit?

Thanks

Technically you can drift any stock cars, if you are skillful enough.
If you want to make it easier, you'll need to dump SOME money on it.
Rx8 parts aren't that expensive, but aren't cheap when you add everything up.

Young people...

 

don't get anyone hurt with all your "tearing **** up" on the streets.

 

They crush street racers cars in California don't they.
Just a thought (start thinking)

 

Expensive? yes.

Delicate? yes.

Driftoru? No.

Expensive habit? if you drive like that, yes.

Constant expenses? do I really need to go on?

This is not the car for you Grasshopper.

An old 350Z is more for you......

 

Don't expect any car to last if you don't put good money into it when you drive like a raging ******* on public streets.

 

thanks for the replys and most certain will be reading the link you suggested goddess.
