RE: My Si vs. Rx-8 Auto?
hey i have my reasons lol. a) they use alot more fuel because of hte low compression ratio. they also produce more emmisions, and are alot slower because the rotars spin at one third of the output shaft. but they are good too i guess, having less moving parts so less wear and tear. haha i guess i take that back, but i still prefer a normal, piston engine

RE: My Si vs. Rx-8 Auto?
Well i got some news and a big boost of confidence last night! I was riding around with my buddy (rx-8) and we ran into a kid we knew in a 96 Gsr and after talking they wanted to race we all kind of thought the gsr would get smoked but it took him by like 3 car lengths in about a 1/2 mile straight. And the gsr killed him off the line lol i was really shocked! MY friend was thouroughly dissapointed in his 8 lol. The gsr had only apexi n1 cat back, a high flow cat and a aem short ram intake. So i think it will make for a really good race!

btw; i think the auto rx have alot less hp then a manual...
A "buddy of a buddy" if you will had a stick shift one; pretty quick. I did kill it w/ my mustang though. Let us know how it turns out; being that its an auto w/ less hp and it has to down shift, you might get surprised.

Yeah, everyone knows that Gay people use a lot more fuel, produce more emissions and are a lot slower because their rotors spin at one third of their output shaft.
