But you can turbo a TSX?

I also don't like the RX8. They're slow and they're chick cars, and that's coming from a guy who drives a chick car (TSX), heh. Nevermind getting ANY kind of non-warranty work done on them -- finding a qualified mechanic to work on a rotary motor is a nightmare, and not cheap. Also rotaries get shit for gas mileage.

I'd deal with all of that for an RX7, but not for an RX8.

And TSX's aren't, lol.

5.9 seconds 0-60 isn't really fast, but genuinely quick. Relatively light weight, good balance. Good platform.

I think it looks good. I'd drop it, get a Mazdaspeed aero kit, some nice wheels, and I'd be done until I'd wanna turbo it.

Sadly, Nissan's VQ > any Honda engine currently.

That is 100% true.

The VQ shits on most affordable cars right now.

I've always loved Infinitis, and Nissan's have had a soft spot in my heart, but 2 reasons why I don't want a G35/37 or any Maxima right now:

1. Everyone is getting into them. Last Brooklyn meet I went to, all the Honda/Acura guys were outnumbered by white G37C's ALONE lol. They're nice and all, but I wanna be unique.

2. Personal reasons why I don't like the Maxima lol.

And it's annoying cuz that VQ is just so full of win/full of torque! RX-8 has no torque, but it revs so smoothly and handles a lot better. Gives the coupe look while still giving me 4 seats and easy access.

I won't be able to do what I did last weekend (stuff 6 people in the back seat haha), but you win some, you lose some haha

RX-8s go from 4 figures to around 17-20k. In that price range, I'd consider Infiniti G's, TL's, maybe some S2K's, 330i ZHPs, and I'm not sure what else.

But I see what you mean. What would you get?

Lol! I saw one for a good price that was maintained well on RX8club, but it's all the way in TN. Couple fs in NYC/Tri-state in the 10-13k range.

I know, I'm just asking what would you get instead for the price?

I love the 2nd Gen GS, first car I drove.

I need to upgrade my work situation before I can think about that too. Which is why I'm keeping my Accord and not worrying about any car payments at the moment.

Focusing on money management, as well as time management when school time comes around again. I felt so bored today, I thought it feels weird to not be doing hw on a sunday night haha

Has anyone else seen Shawn's newest videos?

Those are about as far and close he can get to driving his car until the end of the summer.
