I've never really liked the RX-8. On paper, I really felt like they were an inferior replacement for the FD.
Arrgghh, why does everyone insist on calling the RX-8 a FD replacement??? Its not, nor was it meant to be. I think enthusiasts would appreciate the car more if they stopped comparing it to a car its not supposed to measure up to.
Mazda still needs to do some more work on that rotary to get decent gas mileage though. That is the biggest shortcoming of the RX-8 imo.
Good to hear everyone had a good time at the event, gotta give Mazda some kudos for marketing directly to us enthusiasts.
