just got my titanium 04, GT!

Actually picked it up over the weekend, one of the best cars I ever driven. So light and nimble. A big difference from the floaty boat-like Audi A4.

It's loaded with a GT package and navigation and so far every block I turned, eyes followed it. Very impressed with everything about it, from the looks, its' sweet sounding rotary engine, and that cat-like reflexes... ooooh man!

pics can be seen here.

Welcome to the cult...

Congrats on the titanium.

Wow, you still found an '04? Those are getting tough to find since people are getting such great deals on them.

Welcome aboard the ZoomZoom train. :D

I looked at Titanium with Red/Black interior yesterday and really liked it. I think the Red/Black is perfect for that Ti. Now, if you paint your break calipers red, you will have an EXTRA fine looking machine that will turn even more heads.

Congratulations on your acquisition and welcome to the club.

Awl, another love affair is born!!! Congrats!

On a sidenote, the 8 is actually pretty good in the winter too (with snow tires). It's no AWD Audi of course, but it got me through a half-dozen snowstorms with no problems at all. It was even kinda... well... FUN

I'm sure there weren't many sales here in Nothern Ohio during the winter. I know I waited the whole winter until March of 04 until I got mine. I figured there was no point to buying it in the winter. That's probably what a lot of people up here were thinking.

Nemesis8, your sig looks like the acceleration curve on the RX8, is that intentional or accidental, am I just late to something everyone already knows?

It looks like you may have done it for design purposes but it looks great as a graph! :D

Sorry bout the thread steal... that's twice I've done it on this thread. I will not do it again, I promise.

Wow, Tit. Gray with Red is pretty nice! I was actually discouraged from getting mine with the red/black by the dealer, he said it didn't look good at all--but now I realize he was just trying to pawn off the Gray fully loaded one he had on the lot. Whatever, I'm happy with Tit. Gray and black, it's business-like. But red does look good. Congrats

I found this in bay ridge brooklyn. I got it for 27900, I think that's a pretty good deal since 04's were scarce. The msrp was 33500.
I traded it in my audi and got 11900 for it... I need an mp3 player or a cd changer, I'm not used to 6 speed sticks so its hard driving while manually shuffling cd's hahaha, it took me two days to get acclimated to it since my last two cars were automatics.

The titanium with black/red interior is perfect, people couldn't stop looking at my car and initially couldn't make it out. from the back they all thought it was an s2000 and the front they thought it was a baby viper, hehehe. The riceboys driving civics know what it was and they could only look at me and my car with envy.
