@fzs, LOL!!!!
but with the "Type S" you can easily run with (or even out run!) the big guys i.e BMW Z4 3.0, Nissan Fairlady Z, Toyota MarkX 3.0, Honda Accord Euro R, Range Rover Sport Supercharged, Porsche Boxster, and many other prestigious cars and SUVs.
this just made me fall to the floor! i presume you live in another era where rx8s manage to keep up with these cars, pretty funny cuz all the "out performance" rx8s can do is in staying behind. sorry to break it to you, but no, its not a fast car, its slow, very slow.
