I'm not sure if I'm looking at a list of cars that should've been offered with a stick, or a list of cars that should have made it to the states....

1953 called....

Well the 2.3 duratec was 145 bhp and 149ft-lb(vs 130/135)... Also according to fueleconomy.gov, it gets 22 city, 30 highway. The 2.0L is 24/32.

I'm only nitpicking because of the statement that the FRS comes out on top because it's 10 years newer, meaning lightweight materials, engine tech, etc. As far as that goes, I'm not convinced.... There is a ton of amazing engineering that went into the RX8 as well.

Yeah. I mean, they're all a little different.

25 is about what I got in a ZX3 focus with a 2.3 duratec (not the SVT model).

I daily drive one. I get the problems people have with it... most of them being upkeep and day to day costs being high. Between oil, fuel, and the threat of your engine exploding.... all that aside though It's a really awesome car. You just have to not be scared about revving it to 9 grand. Otherwise you'll hate it.

It's probably a tossup between hard city miles and bad traffic.... recently I've been driving home later, so I can cruise at 70/75 the whole way, and am getting about 15.

I get 14mpg... so yeah. If that's a concern, or reliability, or anything sensible like that... the RX8 isn't even in the running.

A 6 speed RX8 comes with a carbon fibre drive shaft..... pretty sure the FRS doesn't have that. It also came with a LSD, which I don't thiiink the FRS comes with?

I'd agree on everything short of the 4 door sports sedan. Suicide doors really don't count, not to mention it's still smaller than most 2+2 sport coupes. (Genesis, Mustang, Camaro, G37, etc...) and it's smaller than pretty much any sports sedan (3 series, ATS, charger, etc).

Conclusion, pretty much what I expected.

As an owner of an Rx8, YES YES YES, FINALLY SOME ONE DID THIS VIDEO!!!! Now to watch....

Oh wow! How did you get leaked pictures of the GTI RS52?! According to the leaks I've been reading it's supposed to do 0-60 in 2.3 seconds and has a top speed of over 9000!!!!!!

Yeah, if anyone wants to know why 0 was difficult, go into computer science and take a peek at nulls.

I don't feel like looking for other sources, so idk if it's legit, but you could start your search here:

I mean, how did this get missed?

Haha, there may not have been any full on nudity, but they got pretty close:

Yep. You win.
