Thread: anyone run an rx-8?

M/T RX-8's are not fast. The run 15 second 1/4 miles and don't have nay torque...

You will beat one in a straight line. They are meant for handling and are balanced nearly 50/50!

Good point. I see you have a CL-S. Slick car. Is it the manual? Always wanted to drive one.. the seats look soo nice.

Unfortunately it is not a manual. They only made the 6-speed manual for one year(2003). The seats are one of my favorite things about the car too! My car is faster then the manual cl-s if its stock...I've got headers, cai, 3rd gen TL wheels. I've raced quite a bit of cars:

Beat:
04 GTP Comp G w/exhaust, ram air
99 Solara w/exhaust, intake
03 Audi TT VR6
95 Camaro Z28
Celica GT(lol)

Lost:
00 GTP w/injectors, pulley, CAI, headers, full 3" exhaust, tune(by 1 car w/o CAI on my car)

Respectable list of mods and kills. It's a shame they only made the manual in 2003, I couldn't remember what year it was, I just knew it was the last year they made the CL's. Now if only the '03 and prior TL-s was manual..
