Not to get off track, but a friend of mine owned an RX-8 and it was/is one of THE MOST disappointing supposed sports cars out there. People say oh well it handles sooooo well and this and that but guess what? The car is slow so it BETTER handle well because my Sister in law's mini van could beat it in a straight line.

Great looking car IMO, but if you ask me one word that defines the RX-8, that word would be SLOW.
