This question might be kind of dumb, but out of curiosity is the RX8 the new version of the RX7?

 

not at all I could go into detail but it's alot of stuff to type. if you must no I'll give more info later.

 

Hey 87 Turbo II, I am very interested in the detail of yoru answer. If you have time, could you type it up?

Thanks!

 

most likely its the same type of things with the mazda 3 and the mazda 6. completely different but have a name that is very similiar. different parts, look, and price! 87 turbo will be able to tell you for sure when he replies

 

When I came home with mine, I just bought an 06 manual phantom blue, I told my step father to test it cause he used to own a non turbo RX-7, he loved my car and said it reminded him of his old car.

 

I would agree with him.

 

Ok well the Rx-7 was more of a purebread sports car meant to go to the track and take on Porsches (actually the 944 Porsche to be exact) and be brutal. It had a stiff suspension, oversized brakes, and undersized storage. The Rx-8 is better rounded. Not as fast but comfortable, with newer technology it turns a little better even though softer. Has enough room for 4 people. the markets the cars sell for are completely different. The Rx-7 was for pureists who enjoyed nothing more than thrill and speed and mos tlikely daily drove a Mercedes when they weren't tearing up tracks in the 7. The Rx-8 is for businessmen looking for soemthing fun to escape to after work when they want to let loose or head to the track on weekends and race for fun, not competition.

 

I Agree with 87turbo II
But which Ones would You guys prefer?
the 7 or 8??

 

Based on looks alone, I really really love the RX-8. I think it is so damn sexy. If I had the money I would have an 8 instead of a 3....

I saw a guy in a parking lot the other day with a black 8, he was staring at my car(not sure why) and I was staring at his... What a sexy bitch that thing is...whooo[8D]
