On a happier note, that MotoIQ RX-7 V8 project is so drool worthy. Dammit Mazda just make a new car with the RX-7 body and just improve the reliability.

On a positive note, ordered my gopro! I was one click away from ordering a sandisk 64gb micro sd... but I have one question for you fools: What's the best one? Because I see some are SDHC and some SDXC so I'm a bit confused...

^^ Supposedly after 40+ years of the rotary engine in existence, they finally figured out the issues which plagued all rotaries. If rumors are true, there will be a new rotary car in the Mazda line up in not too distant future with more power and way better MPGs.

http://wot.motortrend.com/we-hear-ne...#axzz2QGqeL4gW

Some backyard mechanic has already proved this concept to be viable and made a conventional 13B rotoary engine run 600 degrees cooler on the exhaust side which is one of the major causes of seal failures. Coupled with regaining loss compression (wasted compression/fuel) in the current design, the new setup has a lot of potential... Yeah, I am in line for the RX9 when it's available

Can you imagine all the laser puns and headlines if that came out?! I've got lazerz in my carrrrrrr lol.

I'm debating whether I want the true successor to be named RX-7 or not... I loved that name and the RX-8 just didn't do it for me. And yes, I'll be cutting you in that line for it

The RX8 didn't live up to the legendary status of the FD RX7. Handling wise it was superior but falls short everywhere else. Nonetheless, there is nothing like it on the road today. I am hoping the new successor whether they call it the RX9 or 7, will surpass the FD in power and RX8 in handling.

HC Stands for "High Capacity" and XC stands for "Extended Capacity". As long as the card is Class 10 you should be fine. I have some cheapo 32GB Class 10 card I got from Fry's for $30 that works flawlessly. I can get 2 Hours and 10 Minutes of record time in 1080p 30fps.

Seriously the FD design still looks like it was designed today. Should've just kept it and just upgraded everything else.

^^ Agreed.. FD was so ahead of its time in terms of design and styling. A few minor tweaks an here and there would have been awesome! However, the series-II RX8 is looks better than the first gen IMHO but still NO FD.
