The RX8's are slugs all around if you ask me, they don't even look half as good as the last gen RX7, now that was a very good lookin' and great runnin' little car when turbocharged. I love using them on games once in awhile.

Yeah, but I don't think mazda had the quarter mile in mind when they designed it either.

I'm waiting for a turbo version. The guy that sold me the Hemi said that if I wanted a fast one, to wait for the turbo. I kinda lost interest after that. I do like the looks of them though.
