the sound of the engine is probably the only upside to it.

i hoped this would be interesting, and it sure is!
unfortunately, the conversation went like this...
simon - hey danny, hows it going?
danny - good, i got an rx8!
s - oh! cool! (thinking - glad i didn't open the conversation with "hey, don't get an rx8, they're jobby!"
that was about it. think i might wait until it blows up (so about 2 weeks yeah?) before i show him this thread...

he said he looked at s2k's a year ago, but the insurance was much higher than an rx8.
he's got a 57 plate rx8 nemesis, which according to wikipedia has alot of fancy extra gubbins on it like leather, BOSE and the usual fogs etc. 350 made apparently.
says it'll do 0-60 in 7.2
So a H22A8 lude would give it a run for it's money yeah? although perhaps not with me driving it.
