    Default New... am I the only Shinka here?

    Hey - looked through some of the cars on here before I decided to sign in... am I the only RX-8/Shinka here? I know there are at least 2 or 3 others in the general Atlanta area... I've seen at least one other around here in Alpharetta.

    Anyway - what's up people.

    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.

    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..

    I gotta hook with you fellas (and girls) one night and hang out... I've been thinking of whether I want to go the show route, or the race route... race sounds more fun but it might get costly and I have to ride out the 75k warranty which I paid for... and mods obviously kill most of that ....

    Holler at me and we'll hang out, I'm up for almost anything, at least once, heh.

    there is a mazda meet this upcoming sunday. Go to www.msprotege.com and go to the GA forum for more info. The people over there are friendly and usually go out to the NP meets and Varsity meets.
