RX8's get crap all the time from people who've never driven them at the limit, let alone driven them AT ALL. i have a friend this, i read on the internet that. bla bla bla. they're great cars to drive, just not as great to own/maintain.

the 08 STi's have a bad reliability record, namely motors grenading on track days when they're bone stock. yada yada they've updated the ecu maps bla bla bla, newsflash, the 09 WRX's are quicker 0-60 and qtr mile. I doubt you're gonna use all that fancy differential stuff in the sti anyway.

Buy my 240sx instead (k not serious, but just a thought)

dood. can u seriously be rational and think normally for once? how often are you gonna track your car? once, maybe twice a year?? for that one maybe two days, you want to pick a "track car"?? seriously tony. stop being retarded for once. FIRST thing u should do, is just frikkin DRIVE whatever cars you're interested in. why the hell would you buy a car based on what people on the internet tell u??? thats stupid.

exactly. this is a huge reason why i sold my evo.

driving it around town and just driving it point a to point b, it was such a hassle. heavy clutch, shitty mileage, ricer attention, etc.

for those track days and whatever though, it was SUPER great.

however, having a 400+ car payment just for those track days just didnt seem worthwhile.
