If I'm not mistaken it is the RX-8, but then again, I CAN'T WATCH IT AS I DON'T HAVE CABLE OR ANYTHING. I'll have to hope somebody puts it up on Youtube or something.

I tuned in for the show a few days back when they featured MGA's and Spitfires. I was like "Oh cool!" turned it to speed, and it was this dude driving an EVO. Wtf?

So I watch it for like 2 minutes and he goes on about how it was featured in The Fast and the Furious, how there are so many computers in the car doing everything etc etc. I turned it off when he said "Now THIS is a car!" Nay, that is a VEHICLE. A car is different than a vehicle.

Now I remember why I don't watch TV.

Just arrived home late from a long day at work. Was looking forward to possibly seeing the first generation Rx-7 featured on this show. What a disappointment.

Thanks Ray for the link to the show specifics.

I think they over-exaggerated the performance of the RX8 a bit too much on the show. Plus no first gens!!!
