I was wondering how you feel the two cars compare. I carefully considered the RX-8 before getting my black 04. I just couldn't justify getting a less powerful car that also got worse gas mileage. I was enamored with the RX-8s looks and handling though. I also loved the interior, though i never got a chance to drive one. It's the only car i look back at and wonder if I might have liked it more.
Damn! At least Im not alone on this one. Thats exactly how I feel. Dont you hate the "I wonder if..." Or "What if...."

Yeah, i really thought i was gonna feel that way about the EVO (which i did drive and enjoy), or maybe the fact that i didn't get a blue SRT-4 (which i could have if i didn't think i needed the sunroof i never use). But i really only wish i had looked closer at the 8.

These two cars are hard to compare at all. That is why I love both of them. Both cars are quick in there own way. I get the rush driving the rx-8 in turns (especially on interstate ramps). The rx-8 accelerates thru and handles turns better than any car i've driven. I could write you a book contrasting these two cars but basically the same feeling we get flooring the srt-4 on a straighaway, is the same feeling I get in the rx-8 in turns.
If you ask me a specific question comparing the two I will be glad to answer it. But the feelings I get driving both cars is hard to explain.
The gas mileage is terrible on the rx-8. [:'(]
1 tank in the rx-8=280 miles, 14 gallons= +/- $30 (Premium)
The srt-4 so far is getting tremedous gas mileage. I have filled it up twice and spent $37. Im loving it.
Thanks for all the compliments.
