    I LOVE the new Rx-8 taillights, the seats are also amazing, I'd swap the front bumper for the 1st gen Rx-8 one though. As for the Rx-9, it doesn't live up to the legacy of the FD in terms of styling, but anyone who has been following the 16X rotary development and planned turbo system knows it's going to be the fasted Rx yet. 2008-2012 will be a great time for rotary owners

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    I like the new RX-8. It looks like a nice improvement although, I still dont believe the 8 to be in the leauge of the 7 by any means.

    I'm agreeing with this entirely, the 9 concept just isn't meeting my expectations for the promised new 7.

    If the statement you made is true about the fastest, I might have to consider swapping this new motor into an FD when I get $$ some day.


    Good post and reps to the poster and quotee. lol
