Accord vs RX8
I was driving my accord v6 6 spd manual tonight. I was stopped at a light where the road was three lanes. Pass the light the right lane would merge into the middle lane. So at the light, it was a van in the left lane, me in the middle lane, and then an rx8 pulls up in the right lane. I'm assuming he knew that the right lane was going to merge so he revved up, challenging me. When the light hit green we both stepped on it and I immediately switched into the left lane since the rx8 and I were neck to neck. I swear I was with him the whole time and I couldn't believe it. We shut down at about 80, but I thought these cars could keep up with S2000? Anyone know how fast a good driver could bring it 0-60?

I'm pretty sure a guy buying an RX8 would never buy an automatic.
A guy at work bought an automatic 350Z; his justification: "computers can shift faster than humans". Yes, but not in this case!
