Best Motoring: RX-8 vs JDM(all)

srry if repost but its pretty cool. All cars are in similar class i believe

RX-8
Skyline
Integra Type-R
WRX
S2000
and the Eunos (Miata)

RX-8 did good in the turns but got raped in the straights...i think a n/a 3-rotor would of been more par for the 8 in terms of performance. Mazda would have still had there reliability and family sedan style...and it would of captured that RX spirit. Most likely would of cost more...but who knows what the sales would of been if it had come with a nasty 3-rotor.

enjoy:
