That said, I didn't realize the guy was looking for a used car. In that situation I think I would much rather have the previous gen RX-7 turbo FD. Just feels more raw and edgy and you can't beat FI for putting a sh*t eating grin on your face. Plus it's just a way more attractive car IMO. I think the FD is easily one of the most beautiful cars ever to come out of the land of the rising sun.

maybe you sould be a nice guy and instead of being spoiled by taking yer dads rx-8 have him buy u a manual xB .
i hate the tc too. but i'd take a hopped up tc over a stck rx-8.

And i agree with biznox, 1/4 is not everything and never will. Personally, 1/4 makes me bored fast. Autox, road courses are where its at. Which is what the box is very good at, i know from experience.
Bottom line is this:
Rx-8 is free, you rarely get anything free in this world and its a nice car so take advantage of it.

Actually I read an article about a 3-way shootout between a turbo RX-8 (either HKS or GReddy), turbo Audi TT (badass!) and a 2005 Supercharged Mustang GT. And out of the 3 the RX-8 did the worst on the Auto-X trial. The Audi TT wiped the field with'em.

I've driven my parent's RX-8 a good bit, and let me tell you what I've gathered:
1) High rev limit is fun
2) Handling is amazing
3) Build quality is not great. The interior looks like it is made of quality peices but, the biggest thing, is that the passenger airbag hatch keeps showing up on the on dash. They've had it replaced once, and it's going to be replaced again. A light colored Square with a line going through it doesn't make the interior look uber attractive.
4) If I was given the car, I'd take it.
5) I like my tC more, it's not as fast, but seat-jerking torque is more prevalent at least.

And this isnt the same rotory as the previous gens. This is very slow comapared to the old school RX7s, but is much more realiable in the long run.
I own a RX8 so I know a few things about the car.....

Great....
But the bottom line is, do you want a real sports car or do you want some sports compact?

You wouldn't consider the RX-8 as a sports car? Why's that.

i got a tC and i absolutely love that thing. i mean im 17 and i havent put any mods on it yet, but i mean the thing has enough torque on it and on my tC hauls. I want to add a little more power (CAI exhaust) but i mean i just wanna enhance my daily driving and if thats what you want go for the tC. its better than the rx8 IMO

I mean I see my SRT-4 more as a sports car. Came with 230 to the wheels and a crappy interior. >LoL<
