    I have to say... what's weird is every time I come out to the Varsity meet... hardly anyone gives the car a second look... on the street/highway, everyone wants to friggin' race... what gives? Should I just chalk it up to the "unknown" factor, or is there genuinely more interest in a ghetto-pimped Civic hatchback?.... oh well.... I'm done ranting.

    Lata y'all.

    It doesn't take a genius to mash the gas pedal... but can you drive?

    I don't thinks its that. It's that the Rx8 has some pretty big shoes the fill(Rx7) and the general concensus is that there not doing the best of jobs doing it. I mean I can count of maybe five that have had over 400hp. I want to see more of them power up to the bar of the FD's I know it will come in time.

    Could be wrong but most the time at a meet people are lookin for mods- As for on the streets there more often gonna try ya b/c it is a Rx-8 and not to many noticable mods, therfore better chances..
