My car on the cover of EVO Magazine

No, it's not a Bugatti Yes, you need magnifying glasses

My car is stock atm but the article was about old vs. new, they were comparing the old and new versions of same brands to see if they improved over the years or not, or if they stuck to the winning recipe etc.

Sorry, an RX8 should not be compared to an RX7. The only thing in common between the two is the fact that they both have spinning triangles under the hood.

What was their analysis of the comparison of the FD and 8? I'm always curious as to what people think.

They think they are slower and get worse gas mileage but seat 4 instead of two .

EVO (at least in the UK) is not that sort of magazine. However, comparing an RX-7 with an RX-8 seems a little pointless.

Since they compared many cars at once each car was given a small space. I don't have the mag next to me right now but they basically said RX7 was a great car blah blah, twin turbos and the fuel consumption was bad, now RX8 has no turbos and consumption is still the weak point.

It was the previous owner who took it to the photoshoot about a week before my purschase and I didn't know, later I found the pics on his facebook, I didn't appreciate it but what can I do. Looks like he tried to drift a little bit but looks like a FAIL And no race with the rx8. I will post some pics later.
