Here are nice pics showing 2 almost new (just broken in) RX8's lapping on our racetrack:

In the right lower corner you can also see a blue Renault Clio Sport 3.0 V6

How did the RX-8's do?

Ashraf: No helmets required. P.S.: Check your email ;)

Badfish: Poorly. They were slower then these two cars:

Some friends in Europe tell me that those Renault Clio Sport V6s really go well in the tighter backroads. Really fun to toss around into the corners. The only problem is they're a little heavy for how small they are.

I'm surprised they didn't remove those plates from the front to get better airflow, but maybe the rx8 isn't as picky as the 7.

I'd still wear one... No reason not to.

They are very nice yes. New cost around $45k though. And this one has 3k miles on it and is for sale around $37k :eek:

That place where the plate goes isn't actually a duct if you look at one up close, it's just a big plastic grid. The air all enters thru the slot between the bumper and the splitter.

Ah, interesting. I'm ashamed to say I've test driven one but never noticed that!
