ha-evolution Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 OMG that's the blue I want! That's exactly what I was hoping the darker blue was going to be like. That RX-8 doesn't look bad either - too bad their so slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Yeah RX-8 is as fast as the G35 Coupe, even though itz HP is 238 from a 1.3L!!! Since itz so light, it can keep up with the G35 Coupe. I was gonna get a RX-8 a couple of months ago, but my parents said i need to get a conventional 4-door, because of saftey issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the 0-60 and 1/4 mile figures I've seen in the mags have been decidedly pedestrian.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team23jordan Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 i think RX-8 as a four door car...

ha-evolution Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 In the Best Motoring International video titled "Rotary Reborn" which features the RX-8 racing a S2000, Skyline (G35), BMW 330i, Fairlady Z (350Z), WRX, and Integra Type R on a track the RX-8 comes in dead last. Needless to say it was a disappointing rebirth or dare I say the RX-8 was stillborn? :lol: The testers did like the RX-8 as I recall but it was a little softer than it needed to be which should be addressed by Mazdaspeed by now. I would be happy indeed if the Legacy is a better's drivers car from a balance and steering standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Couldn't truly tell you on the newest ones. In the past it's shown to be pretty thin and brittle, maybe another coat or two of a good clear would make things a lot more durable. Guess it's something repeat Subaru owners have come to terms with knowing it's just one of those things (unfortunately.) Looking around the school parking lot lately at a lot of other new late models though, I was suprised at the number of chips on a lot of those cars too for some reason considering everyone said Subaru was really bad. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.75L H6 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 [quote=C&D]Ford SVT Mustang Cobra... It scorches through the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds, hitting 112 mph. It rips to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and to 100 just six seconds later. The 155-mph governed top speed comes up quickly and effortlessly. Not only can the Cobra easily show its heels to the two competitors here, but it is also substantially quicker than any car available for its $34,750 sticker price.[/quote] I wouldn't say that the Cobra is substantially quicker than the STi.... :?

ha-evolution Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I wouldn't say less than .5 seconds (or less) quicker in the quarter mile is substantially quicker either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
