Process of frickin' elimination, we went through *every* non-german B-stock car!

I love the blue on that car, looks good. How do they do at elevation, not being torque monsters anyway?

There was one at the last autoX of the season, and it railed. I think the power isn't an issue since it handles so well... not that it's a slouch on power or anything!

I was all ready to lead the lynching party for telling us she bought an Evo...

Although I think I'd much rather have an Evo than an RX8. Autocross aside, I can tell you which one I'd rather be driving everyday. Did you know the Evo actually gets better gas mileage despite having about 100 more horsepower?

What I like is how Debbie says she didn't want an STi because there's no wagon version, so instead she gets a car that doesn't even have 4 real doors.

Oh well, the RX-8 is a bad-ass car!

That reminds me Debbie, I've got a poster for ya.

You guys were so Great to play the guessing game!

We'll have to see how it does at altitude. Certainly not as well as the turbos. And yes, gas mileage = low; And Not AWD. But fun-to-drive=high.

For autocrossing I know it's not a class killer. I've heard it does not have a fast launch, but perhaps I can make up for that with traction and stability control on tight turns. I'll have to learn to drive it well, that's for sure.

Pictures to be posted later this week. I'll bring it to the Thursday meet.

Ah we saw your car at Olive Garden when we went and ate before Steward School...remember that sweet blue RX8 Scott?

I can't wait to see it and get a ride.

STIwish · 2004-04-06, 05:57 PM

lol, maybe i should have jumped on this thread earlier.. RX8 would have been my first guess actually... (actually second, right after the Evo)
