I see an rx8 in my future ;]

Post by Sean Mandell »

Just thought I'd say that my rx8 testdrive went really well and the rx8 is a wicked wicked car.....Not as fast as my klze mx-3 but for a daily driver sport car, No car comes close. I test drove the base gs 6spd 238hp with no sunroof,no power seats ,no traction and no leather. This is the one I am getting because it is the lightest from the get go. The only thing that is stopping me is that the 2005 rx8 will be available in pearl white and I gotta see
it before I make my decision.

I'm holding off my rx8 purchase to find out what they plan to do with it once the mazdaspeed 6 comes out next year. With 275hp coming from a twin-turbo 2.3L I4 and AWD, they HAVE to bump the 8's numbers up.

I'm holding off on a new car purchase until I am 25 and out of college. New car insurance is waaaaay tooo much for a 20 year old with 2 tickets.

Next vehicle for me will be a 4x4 truck, but i'll have it along side my Mx-3. I'll have my Mx-3 as my sports car for nice day/night driving and for racing, the truck will be my winter beater, offroading fun and to pull my mx-3 to the track

My currently decided car will be the Rx-7 fd3s is i'm still single, but the rx-8 is definitely a good choice if i'm not :D

Ya I really want an RX-8, but I gotta wait until I'm done college. Plus I wanna see if they beef up the 8 with a tubro or something, cuz that new 6 is looking good with the turbo I-4 and AWD!!!
