Crazy C:
Did you drive the TSX? For the weight and size of the car, it moves pretty well. The RX8 rides like a friggn tank. I thought my RSX was bumpy! I agree, the RX8 is an awsome looking car. They need to get rid of the EL Cheapo interior and dash. Out of all cars I have driven lately, my fav is still the 350Z. Smooth ride, comfortable seats. You can add options to the Z, but the engine remains the same. I think the base model is right around $28K. If you haven't driven one, have a go. One bad thing about the Z, nearly impossible to see out the back, not so with the G35, but more money for the G. |

Re: Rsx-s or rx8
Yeah, i've driven the TSX, my complaints where speed/response, the seats hurt, and the steering wheel is gigantic. Everything else is great.
I haven't driven the Z yet. |

Re: Rsx-s or rx8
Most mags put the RX-8 about .7 seconds faster than the RSX Type-S in the quarter mile. And while both vehicles have great handling, the RX-8 handles better. However, the RX-8 costs 3 or 4 thousand more than the RSX-S, and with all the aftermarket support for the neo-Integra, you could make it just as fast as a stock RX-8. So, it's really up to you on which car you like better.

yes i know that mazda is owned by ford and that their service is crapy, but technology wise, their engine for instance, is still japanese it may not be harder to turbo a v-tec car but u cant put as much boost on a v-tec car because of the high c/r... ive never seen an s2000 with 20psi with v-tec ... if there is show me, i can handle learning something new |

Re: Rsx-s or rx8
Totally off subject, but to break the turbo monotony a bit, a girl at my high school got a brand spankin' new RX-8 for a graduation present and I saw her on the road the other day by my house with a crunched in front end and a Budwiser van with a crunched in back end. She was pretty devastated to say the least.

What a waste. High school kids shouldn't be riding in such nice vehicles! Especially when they can't drive!
Her parents should have started her out with a civic or something cheap like that. Then it wouldn't be such a big deal! |

BTW, I heard the dealer tacked another 150 bucks onto Canuck's trade-in value due to the box set in the changer.

I keep telling him to return those to me! And now he's getting an extra $150 for them! Man! Hope he still hangs around here after he gets his RX8. |
