Some lucky slut driving the new RX8
Revs up to like 9000+ revs as standard!

my job doesnt pay for the petrol... i don't earn enough for that.. and no i didnt, i like the RX8 think the doors are bloody stupid! suicide doors indeed!!
RX7 is a high revver but not to those RPM's as standard because of the high pressure the turbo's spool i guess!

the new RX8 is funny the way the lesser model has more torque (but less bhp) than the top spec

The rotary engines are very odd engines that's for sure.. but superb.. if they had the same amount of years in development they would certainly be better imo unfortunately as they havent they still have prob's with seals etc.. and petrol consumption!

60mph in 6.somethin seconds in a N/A 1300cc car, thats pretty damn impressive really!!

Doors are cool as a modern day concept.. but hardly safe.. imagine a crash both front doors won't open.. car is on fire.. how the FECK do the passengers in the back get out? u need front doors open to get outta the back!

should think there are crumple zones in the right places to allow the doors to open incase of impact
