Targa RX8!

Sweetest ride I've ever seen. #925 RX8 full out targa "newfoundland" race car. With mazdaspeed or something body kit. The best graphics kit on it I've ever seen. Car was almost orange red with mazdaspeed and zoom zoom stickers. Side of the car had a huge rotor symbol engolfed in flames or rather combustion looking graphics. Front has a cut away look of the motor. Absolutely amazing looking car. Just the sight of it almost made me take out a second mortgage. Can stop thinking about it. Gave the dude a thumbs up but he just sort of smiled and continued on.

WHO's IS IT?

Saw it on the 401 east bound from Brock RD pickering at 5:00pm!

Wow thanks for the link. An interesting read. I wish I could go to the targa event. One guy I work with goes every year but missed this years event. Pacione (Spelling) goes too and his shop is a stones throw away from where I work.

It's only a dream since I don't know how I could afford to do it. Wish I could somehow get the video's of this stuff!

Thanks!
Ian

I understand that ATV Productions in Vancouver shot this year's event and are prepping a one hour documentary of the Targa. Unsure when they will release it though.

SPEED used to cover the event but I didn't see it this year. Too bad.

Pictures of Targa RX8

Here are some pictures I tock at one of the over night stops, after everyone else had left. I was there late fixing the end links on my car.
