I'm probably the last person from the 4.56 Group Buy that hasn't got his installed yet.

The RX-8 gets faster with age, as tested by Car and Driver.

0-60 @ 5.9s

whoever said that crap about the richmond gear has no idea what they are talking about. i bet no one ever hears him unless he's standing, because he's talking out of his ass.

Yes, except that to be PM or any of the governing party members, I would have to be a lying, thieving SCUM! I'm not quite there yet.

The other thread talks about going to 4.1 gears to improve gas mileage.

My gosh don't they know the RX is not a car to buy if you're worried about saving gas? and they're in as bad of shape as the S2000 regarding TQ, so 4.1 would be like us going to 3.7 gears or what? That's not an Idea that makes a lot of sense in a tow TQ car that most people would rather go faster not slower.

s2k with gears will still cream a rx-8 with gears
A launched STOCK S2000 will still cream an RX8 with gears.

The RX8, for what it is supposed to be, is completely laughable. It's not a horrible car per se, it's just way too underpowered. It's more of a GT type car like the z4 or boxster to me.
