James.

And I don't feel like choosing, so can I have both? They both have there pros and cons IMO.

Sure. Whatever you like. I used to think the Oil Consumption was a Con until I read one quarter every 10,000 miles.

Are you high? I said I used to think the Oil consumption was a bad thing until I read it uses one quart of oil every 10,000 miles.

What a discussion! I am still with RX-8! Anyone to proof me wrong or make me change my mind?

Well, we can't really prove you wrong until you offer something other than the basic opinion that you prefer the RX-8. Indeed, it's better than the RX-7 in some aspects, although for pure preformance, the RX-7 easily wins.

IMHO, the RX-8 is like what I'd describe: 40% performance, 60% stylish. But for the RX-7, it's a whole different story. That's how I view these 2 cars.

I think it's time to wrap this up.

The RX-7 was built as a sports car, as was the trend during the time it was built. It's meant for driving fast, nothing more.
The RX-8 is built as an everday practical performance car, so of course it is not as fast as the RX-7 sports car, but it's more practical and easier to live with.

The one you like more will depend on what you like in a car. Pure performance or practical performance.

I like the preformance and style but I can sure say that I dont love RX-7 I one hand its ugly while RX-8 have diferent style and its more sport looking thenn RX-7.

Sorry kids, on the RX7club the RX-8 guys have allready given in to the RX-7

It happened a long time ago and without too much of a fight too.
The RX-7 was designed as a track weapon, a quick look at the suspension setup and parts used will reveal that.
Especially the rear bushings they used, they are known to be effective on the track, but with a very limited life span.

The RX-8 is nothing more than a rotary powered family car with fancy 2 door looks.
And after what I have heard, the tuning is very limited for the 8, due to ECU problems and such (According to RX-8 owners)
Most people that are looking for a sports car that can go fast they go for the RX-7 FD, but if you are looking for a more of a daily driver the 8 is your thing.

So sorry guys, the discussion was ended a long time ago, between the 8 and 7 owners themselves

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 29 Sep 2005, 14:31

We are just saying our opinion!

James31278 · Post by **James31278** » 30 Sep 2005, 19:32

They can give in we won't. I have the best of both worlds, I like both cars.

Fadeproof · Post by **Fadeproof** » 01 Oct 2005, 16:39

well i do like both of these cars but i think that the RX7 is just alittle bit better than the RX8... so the RX7 gets my vote

James31278 · Post by **James31278** » 01 Oct 2005, 20:50

The RX-7 is light and a little more powerfull but I still like both equally.

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 03 Oct 2005, 10:37

I think that in this topic should be poll!

Didn't you two basically say the exact same thing?

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 04 Oct 2005, 02:19

Yeah but I did it in less words.

And Kid Cro's right, there should be a poll.

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 04 Oct 2005, 13:04

So creator! ADD A POLL!!

Efini RX-7, mmmmmmm. Note the V shaped squiggly lined symbol not the stylized M.

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 05 Oct 2005, 11:36

Its actually an 'X'.

I used to have it on an RX7 owners club hat that I bought when my brother had one. 'Efini' just means JDM, as Eunos does for the MX5. What you realy want is an RZ, or better yet, a Spirit-R.

Actually no its not an X it's this......A curved V with a line in it.

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 05 Oct 2005, 20:13

Its an 'X', hence R''X''-7. Not RV-7.

I would choose to keep the money, and buy a 3 year old Audi RS6. And wipe the floor with both of them.
