Well as the title would give away I just bought an 04 RX-8 yesterday! For years now I've wanted RWD and I love it. If I decide to part out my civic for sale I'll be here first.
These are shots the dealer took, my camera just broke

The handling is amazing, almost no body roll and stays stuck to the ground forever before slipping. It's geared close to the civic, but goes through them faster, and then has and extra.
1st is to just above 30, 2nd goes to 60 or so (about 6mph more than the civic) and 3rd to about 85 i haven't topped out fourth fifth or sixth yet. I'll wait till the insurance kicks in.
rx8 is a nice car. but i think they eat too much gas and the engines are very unreliable. my buddies mom daily drives her rx8 and mazda already replaced 3 engines under warranty. hopefully you got a long warranty man! have fun with the car though

^agree... I am still a bigger fan of the rx7... but i would definitely take the rx8 over the vic anyday ... have fun with the new ride!
Well there doesn't seem to be anything really wrong with it right now. It drives very well and shifts very smooth. No rough idle or excessive fuel consumption. Engine doesn't sound too loud or anything like that. I don't plan to redline it everyday and they have an 'approaching redline' beeper that makes a beep when you get to like 8.7krpm so no rev limiter bouncing. But yeah, I've been wanting this car for a long time and held off on turboing the vic b/c of it.
well I'm not used to torque in any case... so it doesn't really matter. I plan on supercharging this by the end of next year, so that's where my torque will be
... have fun with the new ride!
