i think that the rx8 shouldnt have come out so soon they should have waited till they were ready for the a bigger motor something to shine in all. i guess the idea that the rx8 is made for the curvies but ya need to look at hte aspect of how is it going to get to those curvies . i have no driven an rx8 so i understand how it drives. i also now own a 2004 s2000 i believe that the rx8 is not the "sports" car or what ever you may call it. Even though the s2000 and the rx8 share a similar strengths their weakness' are very different. Even though the tq numbers are very similar the s2000 can transfer that "power" to the ground allowing it to accelerate much easier. The rx8's shifter seemed very distant from the car. it didnt even seem like it was connected to the motor.
anyways im tired of typing so in all the rx8 is a good car but can do better. the s2000 is a very good all around racer. just be ready to drive a sports car.
