this car is pretty awesome, guys.

sport compact did a little ditty on it and they had their little early 90's miata built up to compete with it. the funny thing about it was that the new roadster, they said, was able to compete with the race prepped car (with a giant ugly wing, which it does need, however looks horrible) and they said the fact was it did so with so much more ease than the race car. Anyone could drive this thing fast, they seemed to think.

I would believe it too. On a Japanese video of the rx8 vs the rx7 (spirit R edition or whatever its called over here, here being Japan since that's where I am) they showed the rx7 vs. rx8. the rx8 actually was catching up to the rx7 in the corners of the course very quickly and the rx7, of course, pulled away al ittle in the corners (keep in mind the 8 makes more power here).

Then they showed the in car video:
the rx7 driver was fighting the car constantly having to counter steer, while the 8 driver simply pointed and shot the car like a well balanced and sighted rifle.

mazda's suspension design is simply awesome.
