|

Rotary engines are/can be potent little motors 3. Its probably quicker then yer 6 banger:kekekegay: I personally like the rotary engine's design and they are made by ford :poke: |
faster then yours right now too greg....yours is wrecked ;)
Rotary can put up some serious HP.. even on the 4 banger.. i had a magazine with like a...600hp RX-7.. I don't like the 8s..don't look right to me.. nothing aggressive about it.. As for drifting...sliding around a curb or something..aint drifting.. Idk..cars like evos and supras are better then that i beleive... ;x |

Idk, I personally think Mazda has one of the nicest all around line ups. Yea, it's not huge, but it's a pretty sporty line up with what they offer. I love the Mazda's. I've test drove a Mazda 3 and looked at a few RX8's (just for fun).
I like the styling of the RX8 a lot, but for power... very very lacking. I've demolished one from a 40 roll to about 80. We ran 3 separate times. O yea, I'm an auto so I ran the whole race in 2nd gear, lol. His was a stick. |

well my bad, this is a 4 rotor all motor rx-7 not the ls1 swap video i was thinking about, but still, this is pretty damn fast. keep in mind it is only 500hp, but the rx-7 is light

The four doors are kinda quirky but they do serve a purpose where you can actually use the rear seats comfortably. |

you are in no league to call anything rice untill your 6'er has some forced induction.
like greg said, rice is what people make things into. but power wise, your 6 is even worse. :poke: |
I've driven a few of the ones we get in on trades here and I must say that the interior looks amazing and they are very very quick cars. In short they are pretty sweet rides and I would not mind owning one.......................................If I was into imports, which i'm not!!:kekekegay:
|
All import cars are not rice, thats seriously one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. Especially from a sixer that would get waxed by most of those ricey imports. The mustang could only dream about have as nice an interior or fit and finish as the RX-8. The only negative I see to the RX-8 is its very expensive to buy for the power. I would rather have a 350Z for the same price.

I think I will stick with my 07 GT premium interior over the rx-8.

i agree. before i bought my mustang, i was going to get a New car from a dealer, and it was between the rx-8 and the 350z. rx-8 is extremely underpowered so i decided not to wind up kicking myself in the ass for getting it, and i found my mustang at a dealer up the block fora good deal so just went with it. |
