Loren: I think I gave your F/S thread the bump it needed. Good luck, hopefully one of those guys comes through for you.

 

^^^^ I like the Orange GT-R.... I would rock it!


I duno, I just had more fun at the last location.... I didnt have as much fun at the new location..... but thats just me.

 

bring the miata, come check out all the new toys on the 27th. Don't worry, we won't let you buy another rotary.

 

SO ARE YOU SAYINg YOU DONT LIKE THAT COOR!? I think it is better then the Z gold, its is kind of like an exotic metalic orange.

 

HATE the design, hate the color on the car. The color isn't bad, just looks like $hit on the GT-R. (imo)

 

imo, that orange totally brings out the personality of the GT-R. and, i like it.

 

Since you guys are talking about the GT-R have any of you seen it in person. I saw to random one's already A red one at the X-games and A silver one in Riverside driving in Orangecrest.

 

yeah, saw it at the la auto show and a few days ago in Orange county.
still dont like it

 

i think it looks kinda bland in silver. but, the orange looks nice. i also saw a Lexus IS-F in black on the road. i used to hate the double stacked exhausts, but with the chrome finish on black it's not half bad.

 

cesaralaniz and i saw two on the freeway and later in peson at cars and coffee

this one is for krazie and RAzz!

 

^^^ That's hilarious ^^^

 

never seen that one before

 

lol jedi, just because of that post, im going to get an auto

 

HAHA!!! glad you guys got a kick out of it.

don't do it Kevin, join the Dark Side you must...

T.G.I.F.F.!!!

 

auto or manual in my book it is still a rotary!

 

A slower and more likely to break rotary, YES.
(look at all the problems 04 Autos have)

Besides, its' hot out where Kevin lives and having only 1 oil cooler on the Auto is a big

 

Manuel is better. The driving experience is far better.

 

You drive a manual
You ride in an auto, even in the left seat you are still a passenger.



The RX8 is a drivers car.

 

You miss the point of the car of you drive a auto.

 

I just have to say yeah the RX-8 or most cars are great as manuals but some people just perfer autos just like some people like eggplant.

 

yeah, I don't an issue with people prefering Automatics My last Mazda was an Auto and my Explorer is an auto.

the RX-8 is very different though. Different transmission = DIFFERENT engine. It's not truly an apple to apple comparison when you consider that it has LESS HP, a LOWER redline, is noticably slower then it's M/T brothers, AND then you add on the reliability issues that come with only having ONE oil cooler!!

One of the greatest things that attracted me to the RX-8 is the 9,000 rpm redline. The sound of the engine, the extra power when the last ports open at almost 7,000 rpm, and the exhilirating feeling you get as you go screaming past 8500 rpm!! I guess it's more then just the transmission, it's the EXPERIENCE that comes with an M/T RX-8.

 

I just hope that in the age of really cool paddle shifting gear boxes there could be one for the new 8.
