RX8 burnout vid

Different strokes for different folks--some people just don't want big American Muscle at the front of their car. Although the rotary may be a bit gutless in NA form, it still has amazing specific output and is very compact and light. This fact combined with a good chassis adds up to what evo calls "simply one of the best driver's cars we've tested in a very long time." Everything I've read said the governing handling trait was very progressive oversteer, not understeer for what it's worth as well.

Hell, I'd take one if someone wants to offload their "piece of shit" .

Thats the way I would drive a car (and have) on a test drive - why not? They (the dealers and manufacturer) treat you like shit once they have your money anyway... LOL ...

Heres the results of me driving one of GMs Z06s at a GM event...
