demoninvictus is on a distinguished road

looks like a poorly designed mustang.. no offense. i'll stick with the stock stylings of the rx-8, not a j-spec touring body kit. now if the touring kit actually means more performance (ie changes in add-on's) i'd be more for it, but i just don't like the look.
peace

Looking at the little flash thing on the site they have a "funcitonal" listing... looks like upgraded shocks, sway bars, clutch, and a bunch of other stuff. They also have some interior seats and trim stuff... so it looks like it is both "show" and "go".

i'm 5.0 impartial at any rate, and i could be on crack, i just don't remember at the time what i was on

. to tell you the truth, i can't read japanese, so i can't tell what the hell is included in the a-spec, but today i got a nice look at a mazda RX-8 at the Rev-It-Up event mazda had at the philly race track.. and i was fully impressed with the RX-8. everything from engine design, down to the bucket seats, power features, the rear seats, the center console, the gauge pod, the feel of the shifter, the contors on the car, the bumpers and sides, the roof... i truely believe that the rx-8 is one of the ATTRACTIVELY, and functionally (for the most part) designed car mazda has ever produced. i just really can't dig the A-Spec body kit. and thats purely my opinion, so suck it

peace

I love it. I'd still rather get an aftermarket body kit, but this gives us an idea of how that will look basically. I dont really care for the stock rx-8 styling but with a body kit it will look awesome
