please dont compare apples to oranges!!

 

bring some guys from rx-8 forums and they'll be pissed.

 

I don't understand why you're surprised at the difference in pricing. Why would you expect them to be comparable? Even if you're looking just at roadsters you'll see quite a difference in price ranges.

 

Rotary engine is the most unreliable POS ever made. The gas mileage is terrible also.

 

No, you are misinformed, the RX-8 is a great car. 50/50 weight balance and a high strun engine, its like the hard-top versionof an S2000.

 

You need to stop listening to salesmen. It does burn oil but not a quart a week shouldbe a about half a quart every 1500miles or so and it's designed to squirt oil into the engine to help lubricate the rotors and the eccentric shaft. and there shouldn't be any ford parts on the rx-8 other mazdas probably but not the 8

 

Another misinformed person. The 3rd Gen RX-7 rotary was very unreliable, but over 40 years of rotary engines, the rest have been very reliable, and RX-8 engines have proven reliable too.

 

Another misinformed person. RX-8 acceleration times are practically identical to S2000s.

 

Also this is misinformation cared over from the Fd rx-7s any NA rotoary engine is very reilable it's when you have a turbo rotary that you can run into problems if you don't do the normal maintnece and when you start adding mods with out the proper tuning then you you have problems. Stop thinking that justbecause you drive s2000 that it's gods gift to the auto industry there are plenty of cars out there that are jsut as good and many that are much better.

 

The RX-8 has 232 hp, the S2000, 237 - less power, but only down by 5.
