rx8 : guages, rims, nice exhaust, no passengers,,,, i have a full tank and 2 passengers
so i yell over,,,, "u turbod"
he responds : "no,,, built engine, tranny, borla exhaust and some other ****,,,,,,, 320WHP, i beat a few zo6's"
so i say ****, i wanna get eaten, this is soundin pretty serious
we leave the light and my friend in the passengers seat said "i didn hear em, what does he have done"
i respond "he said he has a built engine, tranny and he wants to get eaten by a cobalt"
we leave, both 2nd gear, hes not shifting, maybe he wants to try me
i yell over,"yo! hit it lets go!!" (rx8 floored) gets a fender ahead, i floor it,,, fender ahead quicly leads to me a fender ahead, then a door ahead, then a car ahead, ran em from about 40 to 80 twice and same results,,,, violently pulled both times

omg dude was ******* lying, first of all its no way he was making 320 to the wheel with no forced induction and there is no just thing as building up a rotary engine especially a renesis
but yeah they lost their value hard, i got a 04 touring with 25k miles for $11k almost a year ago

I always wonder why Mazda went from making a twin turbo RX7 (looked pretty bad ass to me), to an RX8 platform that sucks performance wise.

Mazda stoped making the rx-7 because they where not selling, after the 3rd gen Mazda said it would never make a sports car that cost over 30k for the usd maket again.
