RX8s are slow as faq.

Also glad to see I'm still in your sig

RX8s are 15 second cars. He was in over his head regardless. You probably would have killed him even more from the roll, too, considering you spun. lol
Sadly he wanted a 20 roll at first. I told him "No because I'm not gay. We are going from a dig" lol. But should have. Thst would have been prime territory for me to have yanked him! And spun was an understatement. Short of a burnout was about right....

Good kill. I've heard people say that those cars are fast but I'm not impressed. Lol

I had a green 99 v6 Stang with orange n yellow ricer stickers all over it and line green mustang stickers on the back glass, windshield, and under the doors. Was it ugly? Yes. Was it slow? Yes.

Surprised he didn't say "dude I almost had you!"

Rx8s are a disgrace, they should have let it die with the RX7...that's a badass car...(LS swapped of course )

He didn't have to say it. Him driving a RX8, with "dancing neon green" underglows, and a riced out exhaust that's LOUD AF, screams Fast and furious in itself. Plus. He called me out in front of a group of people that tagged along. Even one of our friends that usually drives his Mopar Edition 300C, was in his wife's Jeep Wrangler. The kid asked where they came from. I said they were there. They almost passed you too lol

Shinka? It's s special edition RX8. It's a handling package and a few small other things. I don't believe it does anything for straight line performance.

Done right. I think they can look pretty good. I heard one that sounded like an indy car(not here on youtube). They have like a triple rotary engine or something like that, that hauls ***!

Does he have the 6 speed manual, or auto tranny? Both are slow, but the autos (especially the earlier model 4 speed autos) are painfully slow. Think ~16 second 1/4 mile slow. The manuals can tap into the 14s with a good pass. Perhaps the shittiest thing about them is the atrocious gas mileage. Great handling cars though.

6sp manual. He had it wound up. Just wasnt going anywhere. He jumped me off the line when he dumped it at about 5-6k. But after I hooked it was over.
