keep in mind that RX-8 is under powered, but it runs the track at the same time as E46 M3, which has 100 bhp more than the RX-8
the STi is faster than both by 1.7 seconds
you want a car thats going to last you 10 years and you're picking a rx-8 :rofl:

The RX-8 sounds like a loud, slow Dyson

The shit is alot more refined than the yesteryears of crankwalk. Besides the STi is literally 40k, I'd rather prefer a Challenger SRT-8 at that point

A former co-worker has an RX8 and hates it. Horrible reliability, thirsty car and after owning it for a while, in general hates the car.
