FC if u wanna own akagi... RX-8 if u wanna own the starts and block the rest of the way.. But FD overall... |

Its really about driving preference, if u like to look and feel of the Rx-8, feel free to pick it.. But if ur going on rank wise, pick some other FR then, it'll see slower than rx-7's and s2000's... As i said, personal preference, im pretty sure its in there though.. |

It's a pretty good car. It's not gonna own any course like V3, but its a solid car and worth a buy. And since it's a 6 gear, you should get the jump on all the 5 gear top cars. Have fun |

The Dozuki Master Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,688 Member No.: 20,372 Joined: Sep 21st 2006 Location: Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines | based on what i've seen yesterday, the rx-8 still is strong in terms of performance... but it's not as dominant as it used to be in v3... the trend still continues here, i guess (wherein the strongest car from the previous version gets slapped -- either slightly or a lot -- in the next version)... |

Diesel freak! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,948 Member No.: 25,899 Joined: Aug 15th 2007 Location: Malaysia | Thread revival~ RX-8 is pretty well rounded up with FD on every map... The acceleration just simply superb , although not as fast as some other cars (Altezza, etc) RX-8 is easier to turn and it's stable, as long as you don't hold the drift too long... [This car turns TAIL first ] it's a bit sensitive in Irohazaka though, because it can U-turn easily when wall raping because of it's slightly tighter turning radius... In performance tuning, one should emphasize more in Engine [obviously], Suspension, Body, ECU and finally Intake. When I said emphasize, it doesn't mean FT Suspension first and leave the Intake part zero, NO. It still needs to be balanced up. Tune wisely. In Suspension part, the Step 3- Install Racing Suspension makes the biggest difference. So, try to aim for that first IMO. |

Shmuck Group: Members Posts: 9 Member No.: 24,236 Joined: Apr 30th 2007 Location: Update Profile | What?! RX8 Is Amazing I Just FTd Mine Recently And The Acceleration Is Crazy! It's Very Stable Around Corners And I Love It. FD Tends To Slide More From Driving My Friend's Car But I Think That's Because He Hasn't Tuned It In The Best Possible Way But Yeah RX8 Is A Noob Friendly Car. I Have Never Regret Choosing It..The RX8 Doesnt Have Turbo Unlike Both The RX7s So It Doesnt Suffer Turbo Lag (Revving Problems) So It Has Smooth Acceleration Whenever..However It Does Seem A Bit Weak On Irohazaka And Akina.. |

The Dozuki Master Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,688 Member No.: 20,372 Joined: Sep 21st 2006 Location: Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines | maybe he's not braking enough... ------------- and about the topic, i myself have an FT'd rx-8, and i can say it's good enough to keep up with my GC8 in terms of TA's... i just had some gripes with it when i was still tuning it because its 6th gear did not pick up speed that quickly... |

It's not that the car starts sliding more when you upgrade engine and exhaust first. It just gets faster. If you take certain turns beyond a certain speed without braking, you lose control of the car (i.e.: oversteer, or slide). It becomes more noticeable if you tune engine and exhaust first because you accelerate faster and can thus reach the turns going at a higher speed, thus causing you to oversteer or slip on turns that you could take full gas when not yet tuned. Lesson learned: Use the brakes. | ||

That's funny, me driving an FD got wiped by an RX-8. Then again the guy did seem to know how to drive on Iro better than I did, so I guess that doesnt really count =/ In my use, the RX-8 is a pretty nice car, but you just need to watch how it enters a turn. It's not AS smooth as the FD if you're used to something a little easier on the corners, so it takes a bit of adjusting to get used to it. | ||
