RX8 intro

RX8- California country side

RX8: Laguna Seca Hot lap

RX8 KILLER LAP TIME! <--- check out the GANGSTA foot work, by an old man!


in order to get an idea of how badass the RX8's stock time is, compare it to these modded HONDA's times:

Yes this is gonna be one of the hottest rides to come out in a long, long time. The aftermarket support is gonna be huge.

Did anybody see the RX8 driven by Joe Prost on the beginning of mondays Fear Factor?? Anyway a helicopter followed him as he was hauling ass around some tight corners and looked like it was glued to the damn road!@!@!!@!

word. If using gangsta more then once, the second gangsta should be changed to wanksta. Now that's wanksta (see how easy it is).

Because of the small engine...they are able to mount it as far back under the hood as possible to achieve a 50/50 weight distribution...thats why they handle immaculately . I believe most BMW's have a relatively close weight ratio to 50/50...maybe 49/51 or something .

so anyone want to translate a little Japanese for us???

I'm starting to really like this car. Especially it's tossability on the track. If I tried half that shit at Laguna Seca w/ the CL-S I would be flipping a few cars.
