why does he call it an rx8? Maybe if he put in a renesis or something, otherwise he should call it an RX- chevy 350

It BETTER cruise for S-I-X-T-E-E-N THOUSAND dollars!

That's not sketch at all. Y'know, since 1st gen rx-7's came with power locks, power seats, anti-lock brakes, and passenger airbags.

It's the rims, the plastic red paint, the cowl induction, and the vents on the header panel, MAYBE the areo kit. But I do not approve of that, it looks to southern. The guy has a mullet, 99% sure.

i like the way the rear valence is moulded into the body.

and the amp rack is nice

even though its full of "pissed-ons"....it still is nice. clean engine bay too

the guy should really think abouty calling it a 7.....can't imagine
anyone's gunna pay 16 grand for it. i should go check it out, its only 1.5 hours from here and i'll be passing through there in 2 weeks. maybe even a test drive!!!

that porsche is gotta be hella fast. I took a ride in a bridgeported 914 and I swear I will never get in the seat with the owner again. he was about 45 and drove like he was 12. I remember him saying that he could get it to 170 if we wanted to. on cars that light you can literally eat some tires in a few hours. thats why I am doing the 12a baja bug now. I will always be looking for one of dim turbo engines. Always!!!!!!!

Lose the overblown stereo and that ugly grill and Id cruise it.
Bet the thing goes like hell!

The 911 is sweet! What scares me though,is 325 crank HP and its got the stock T-18 turbo and TMIC......not for long it wont!

The grill vents are the right idea. I wonder where are they from. Close, but not quite.

I actually like this RX-v8, just not in Arrest me Red.

I don't think he's treying to fool anyone. It's a Play on letters and numbers.
It's not an RX-7 anymore, it's and RX-8 - as in V8.

Usually we refer to these as RX-v8's.
