had a "race" earlier with a 56 plate RX8, was on a road and an RX8 bombed it past, had really loud pipes on it, was a very nice car, thought Id have a play to see how it goes. followed him to the next roundabout, went round side by side, heard him go for it from around 20mph so I did too and sailed past, right upto and slightly over the speedlimit
not really a willy waving post from me just more of a post about the Mazda RX8, arnt they like 225bhp? cant imagine it weighs more than mine. Ive no doubt its the better car to drive ect
The man gave me a wave like that bloke in the Clio too, but not quite as gay

Dont get why everyone has to mention the torque of n/a cars. You want torque buy a car with a turbo.
Pulled away from an rx8 in my old ep3. Dont think theyre anything special. Ugly as fuck cars as well.

I'll pulled away from an Rx8 in my sisters Clio 172 Cup. Must've been the base model, looked good though.
