i was near the dealer for work, and had to wait around for this other company to get stuff ready for me, so i stopped by the place where i got my car to take in for service (the driver's side mirror is distorted so they're changing it out). well, while it was in, i was checking out the other cars. a guy came out and asked if needed any help and i told him "no, i'm just waiting for my car......unless you want to take me on a drive". "what, an rx-8?", he asked. "of course" i said. so he went back in to check if it was ok, came out ask how old i was and if i had insurance, went back in, and came back out with the key.

it was way sweet. took a couple minutes to get used to the shifter, but after that, i had fun. i really liked how when you get up near the redline, it'll beep at you, that way you don't need to pay attention to the rpms. everything had a nice feel.

then i got my 3 back (still unfixed because they had to order a part) and i putz'd around. i still love my 3 though.

yea my dad and i took an rx8 out too. i thought it was a very nice car, pretty torqueless and a lot of it felt form over function, but still a fun drive.... wouldnt pay 28 for one tho :no:

again RX-8 is not a replacement for the RX-7! They might even come out with an RX-7 replacement in the distant future :dunno:

veen

ok? do you want us to ignore the blatant similarities and not make a reasonable comparison? No one was claiming it was the replacement, and im pretty sure i can compare my civic to a 427 cobra if i damn well please :dunno:

yeah, the guy was pretty cool. he was pretty young (probably around my age). didn't press anything, hardly talked. just let me drive. it was
