Lol, you can't possibly be serious.
For those who care to engage, this guy tried to tell me that the 8 won't go 140 mph. I politely corrected him and explained that not only will it go 140, but it has been clocked at at least 151 and I've personally driven 135 with room to spare.
Being the incredibly smart man that he is, he didn't believe me. Hmm... why would I lie about this?? And why would you second guess an 8 owner about their own car's capabilities?? Anyone from the cruise care to chime in?
Somehow, he morphed the conversation into an RX7 vs. RX8 issue, when no other party involved ever claimed such a statement. I have never said, and will not say, that the RX8 will "trash" the FD. Those who know me understand this.
Let me know when you buy your 8 and then we'll talk about what it can and cannot do.
And for those who have nothing to do, I have the transcripts from the AIM conversation last night. Send me a PM with your email address and I'll gladly pass them on.

Dude your a tool. Shut up and quit post this crap. I have a FD and 4 FC's, and have driven the 8. Sure the FD is faster so what. That is not what you are arguing. And I have come to the conclusion you are a idiot. Leave Dazy alone. Post this crap at Rotaryrendezvous forum and see how bad you get made fun of. I think someone should take away your FD for being such a moron.

I dont know the top speed of a 8 but I do know the 7 is faster I think we can all agree on that... Right?

According to the stats, the top speed of a stock RX8 is 151 mph. I've read that some people have gone faster.

Haha.
We owned this fool last night, and he gets owned again here.
No one claimed the 8 was faster than the FD, that was you making stuff up to sound good. His argument was that the 8 can't do 140 unless it takes all day or is going downhill, which is completely untrue.
Did you go and test drive an 8 like I told you? Quit trying to start **** until you know what you're talking about.
For the record, this guy also admitted that the reason he likes the FD so much is because it was the fastest car on Gran Turismo. What a tool.

I'm just waiting for his response to his own thread. Lets see if he dodges the issue again.
Wait, let me try and counter all of his arguments before he makes them.
Dazy knows the history of her car better than you do. Infact, she knows that there were RX-# cars before the "7".
No one cares that your '93 was a fast car. You wrecked it, its gone, it can no longer be used in an argument.
Stop talking about how your '94 is not a race car. We know. Race cars *run*.
Yes, the FD stock accelerates faster than the RX-8 stock. No one argued that fact.
Quit whining about how "old" your '94 is. It is one of the newest '7s on this predominantly-American board, especially when you're posting in the "South" section. I don't see many FB owners whining about how old their car is.
Did I miss anything, Dazy?

Other than that, you've covered the bases well. I am also looking forward to his response...

I doubt this person will come back, they've already embarassed themselves way too much. I don't understand the whole purpose of arguing over stuff like this anyway, the 8 is a great car, the FD is a great car, can't we all just get along?

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day when the South Forum would get a whiney-butt thread....what's next? The classic "What do you think of this??" thread and he posts a pic of a purple car with a two foot high rear wing that vaguely resembles a 1985 RX-7??![rlaugh](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/rollinglaugh.gif)
