[quote name='Signal 2' date='Sep 13 2005, 04:55 AM']OK. I could live with that. I hadn't considered a 3-rotor. But for a "standard" FD, even if heavily modded, that's a REALLY good price.

I wouldnt even pay that for a 3-rotor. I'd spend twice as much as that and built it myself.

Why don't you just wait for the 2007 RX-7. I know it's still on the drawing boards but they might give it the green light. And if it doesn't happen you can always get the 2007 Inifinity GT-R aka the Nissan skyline GT-R.

I drove my friends RX8 (manuel tranny) it has a k&N typhoon intake (really loud) and a mid pipe, i think but it shoots flames. Nice car has a nice hum to it and the engine has a flat turque curve. He makes that car look bad, he can't even drive it right, damn kids. His parents bought that car for him like some of my other friends and sometimes i think they got into cars because of The fast and the furious like the rest of fakes out there.He even lost in a race with my friends stock rsx non type S automatic! sometimes i wanna befriend that kid

they are very different cars but heres my opinion



the fd looks better, and its faster, but the rx8 handles way way better, and is a lot of fun to beat the crap out of, plus the 8 is simpler and easier to work on.

[quote name='SilverSeven' date='Sep 13 2005, 02:26 AM']The 8 is too much of a compromise, yet it comfortably seats 3.68 people.
