RX-8 is a great handing car, i was really surprised when i drive one. Getting n/a power gets expensive... you can get some here and there with bolt-ons and tuning. But where the real power comes in is with porting. But by the time you spend the time and money on that, you'd be better off with a turbo. Google search "American Togue" and there was a turbo RX-8 that was in it and they praised the car for both power and handling.
