[II kings 9:20]

Fabulous!!! To quote Emmerson Fittipaldi "the balance is fantastic". Razor sharp steering ,great ride and handling perhaps a half a tick off the s2000 or 350Z but truly seats four and the ride is superb. Revs to 9000 rpm but no torque. Numbers suggest it is almost as fast as a GTO (which I test drove with my dad and had him screaming like a school girl) but to get that 5.9 0-60 requires an 8000rpm clutch drop launch which no one (who is an owner) would do regularly. The GTO is all about torque, good handling but it is no RX8, nor is the RX8 a GTO when it comes to that low rpm gut pushing thrust that only cubic inches can deliver (can't wait for my Hemi!!!). I get lots of stares, head turns, and comments about the 8. It also has the best 6spd manual I have driven (I test drive for fun,it's also free) as sweet as the s2000 and the BMW 6spd is not even close.
