Yeah that you need to know how to drive to drive a S2000 rather than a RX8

Didn't know how to drive the RX-8, didn't know how to drive the S2000, he just wrecked the latter.

An rx8 GT car won the GT part of the rolex 24 at daytona. they sound great, such high revving engines. but due to gas mileage and uncertainty of the rotary, I didn't even consider it.

No even a remotely fair comparison. Those RX-8's are built with tube chassis and are built by Riley racing from the ground up. They only look like the real deal. Also, they are running naturally aspirated 3 rotor engines...not the normal 2 rotor that comes with the RX-8 road car.
