Which is better in everyone's opinion, Mazda RX-7 or Mazda RX-8? I know everyone worships the RX-7 but is the RX-8 as good or just a POS?
 
I would say it is as good if not better. Got one in the garage but it needs more parts.. Gotta go drive some cash for it.
 
I loveee the RX7. But I think the RX8 is just as good, its definitely not a POS. For me it took alot of time to tune the suspension and transmission to get it to drift the way i wanted it to (particularly to have the same drivability as the rx7).

Edit: This is coming from a guy who uses the FD Rx7 90% of the time lol
 
I think the RX7 is better. Drifting the RX8 is a bit harder. The RX7 is more smooth and it has a better respond. I like the RX8 to. I got like 15 different RX7 and one RX8 lol. But they are both really good cars.

Anyway........ the RX7 looks way better as well XD.
 
Do they look alright with the wing and all or just leave the body pretty stock?

The premium model only has one big rear wing, a tiny front spoiler and canards.

And it also has a tendency to oversteer slightly more than the RX-7 even when set up appropriately.

I will remember that. I think I will buy one and try it and if I don't like it maybe there is someone who will want it.

Enlighten me please: what does POS mean? is it just short for possesion, or?

This is my RX-8 Concept. There are Two types (I and II).
Took a long time to finetune it, but i guess its ready for drift all around, long or short, flat or banked. With this car i can keep up with most drifters i know.

Does it lock at overstering?
Sometimes, but what car doesnt have this danger when reach close to 90º of sideway?

Is it smooth or tight?
Tight, looks like have a gravitational center higher than the FD, so it tends to change direction agressively.

Do the engine + turbo lags? Does it kills accel at lower RPM?
Ya it does a lot when not finetuned, specialy the II version. After a long path of tries and fails, finaly i solved the problem.

RX-8 needs a wing?
I don´t like wings, specialy the bigger ones, specialy in a RX8. Thats because i dont use in this picture. But if you don´t use one, your settings will have to be a lot geeky to compensate the lack of spoiler on behind, specialy at higher speeds.

You agreed to this when you signed up
  • You will not use “textspeak” ("plz", "pos", etc.) in your messages.
  • You will not use profanity in the forums, nor link to content which contains offensive language without sufficient warning.

Aside from that I can't imagine the RX-8 being a terrible car, probably not as easy to drift as the FD, but possible.
 
The RX7 just flows a little better than the RX8, also the RX8 feels a bit underpowered, but that can be fixed.

How many RX8 are in the game? And what you´re talking about underpowered?
And who can assure that the premium version is the best of all?
I still don´t know what RX8 version the OP was talking about... but i believe he is speaking about the premium one.

About if its or not nerfed... speaking generaly... imo, about torque it stills with an economic and small engine, but with a epic perfomance powered by the rotary technology.

I'm sorry. I couldn't figure out how to say what I wanted to say without saying something that wasn't profanity. I will watch it now.
 
As far as the RX-8 goes, it drifts really pretty good. I haven't fine tuned it yet but still does a good job. A little hard to keep going around a long corner, like the last corner on Tsukuba. But as for the rest of the track it does pretty well.
 
Im a fan of the rx-8 over the rx-7 and its not popularity or horsepower or looks I just feel that the way the RX-8 handles is a bit more firm and faster than an Rx-7. just my opinion.
