Beautiful car. Going North on Victoria Park towards Steeles. I followed and spoke to the guy. It actually quites nice in person. Asked him how he got his hands on it and he said it wasn't out yet. He said it was very similiar to your car. Couldn't talk to long as we were holding up traffic. We had a few short spirited SAFE runs and I pulled on him pretty easy. Of course it wasn't broken in so it's not a fair comparison. The liscense plate read something like
RXGR8 or RX8GREAT...something like that. Funny thing was, it had ACTUAL valid plates, NOT dealer plates....Interesting. Looks great in person. Can't say much more as I was shocked when I saw it on the road but nice car nonetheless.

It's slower than the S2000 by a surprising amount. Check S2000 Talk for the link to the Best Motoring video.

It is? I thought some mags pulled off low 14s with it?

There are a few of them around the GTA.. but not for the general public yet.

Haha.... next spring.. Still undecided.. I'd love to get an S but it's about $12-15K more than the 8.. plus I'd have to get another car for those times where I need some space.. It all comes down to the $$$ .
