Default So how quick is the Mazda RX8 then??

I have seen the figures and that but who has been in one & who has been up against one. I want to know if it really is value for £ money , as a guy at the work cant stop talking about them. Is he telling the truth that they would take a standard cossie etc.

As a hater of new cars both the RX8 and 350z are both well nice cars, and if going by the stuff coming out for them.....superchargers, turbo's etc, they'll end up being leaps ahead of us oldy boys

driven the 192bho rx8 and was ver impressed, very stable at 3 figure speeds, it got to 90mph quick enough, i would say the 230bhp is the one to go for, would recommend one any day. I will be having one after xmas. There is/was a 3 month waiting list on them when i looked,(july)
