You choose...

If given the options below... what would you pick?


First gen with a bridgeported 12A/13B, bigass turbo, and all the suspension goodies, full interior.

Second gen with a bridgeported 13B (20B if you're loaded ), bigass turbo, all the suspension goodies, full interior.

Third gen with a bridgeported 13B (or dare I say TWENTY B???), bigass turbo, all the suspension goodies, full interior.

RX8 with a bridgeported 20B (because the Renesis = bleh), bigass turbo, all the suspension goodies, full interor.


Me, I'd either go first gen or RX8. Who knows... maybe this is the first of many generations for the RX8... if so, I still need my first gen 7, and a first gen 8

having driven all 4 versions and owned two, I'd vote 3rd gen. RX8 is a sweet car with the 4 seats, but it's more of a grand tourer to me than a raw sports car. 3rd gen still has style over 10 years later, and has the performance to keep up with anything, very fun to drive.

I think your choices would be more fair to say like 1) 1st gen highly modded 2) TII slightly modded 3) FD3S stock 4) rx8 stock. That would level the playing field more to me
