2011 Last Year For Rx8 In USA

[12arotary]

don't know if anyone has pointed this out but the rx8 ran for 8 years (once its 2011), longer than any rx7 specific gen and since they really didn't do any super major changes along the way like they did with the rx7 i'd say it did pretty good

I read that yesterday as well, I had never really compared the length of the life span to the rx7's generations. Most people when they think of the rx series they think of the built FD's and FC's, high powered drift cars, and how turbo's and rotaries go hand in hand. They think that because the rx8 wasn't a torque monster or had twin turbo's that it was a let down to the rx name. If they had driven this car, or was any kind of car enthusiast at all, they would realize that rx8's are a true driver's car. Its meant for twisties at high speeds and has an incredible stock suspension that can only get better with suspension mods and slight tweaking. People also complain about how hard it is to gain hp and tq from it unlike civics, 350z, g35, s2k etc but in a way that is a good thing. Rx8's are one of the best factory tuned cars on the market as well as one of the nicer cars if not the nicest car in its price range.
