lol seriously, I had NO idea that was Travis. I look over and some kid is just STARING at me. I kind of thought he had a man-crush to be honest, that’s why I humored him with a faggy wave. maybe give him a little thrill for the night :crackup lol really though, there are many arguments against the true displacement of a rotary compared to the conventional piston engine. To me, I pop the hood and see half an engine in the bay so it’s pretty cut and dry from that perspective… until I rev it out to 10k and think well this isn’t normal at all. Maybe I should just turbo this thing and shut a lot of people up, no? :ninja ---

Well, I’m not trying to run 10’s… just make the perfect track car. 400 whp rx8 is GG to all on a road course 🙂 Too bad that shit is ridiculously expensive. I wish I met you out there tonight, you seem like a totally decent guy. A lot of people come on here like they have something to prove and just talk a ton of shit to boost their egos. ---

i try to be mellow, i only get into it when i have the energy and/or i’m pissed off and just need a subject to bash on. But thats not very often… it’s entertaining to see people argue online, but thats really all it should be. He would beat you in a straight line… you know this, and don’t care… and you say you are a good driver and like to race on road courses. Which he may or may not like to do. So you both built/bought/whatever cars for the purpose of fulfilling whatever your goal was/is. I just like chillin w/ people that are into their cars. I might bust balls or joke around, but if your into your car… and you try to do is tastefully than more power to ya. Plus my car is almost past the point i wanted to be at… now its like, take the turbo off and get traction again… or throw a 42R on it and trailer it to the track on weekends. I duno, might just sell it and GSR swap my daily so i can rip gears again. ---

dude… we pulled into the lot after racing and I swear to god mexicans were popping out of the ground. I turn around and there are at least 15 mexicans standing around this gold EK while I sit there thinking where the fuck did these kids come from!!! As soon as one touches water they multiply! Are you two (hooked and swifty) gonna be out tomorrow night? I’d like to meet you guys in person so we can laugh over the trials and tribulations of this epic online forum over a few beers. :nod Man swifty, I only really talked shit to that kid because he really dissed the RX-8 in general when I know for a fact he’s never sat behind the wheel of one. Yeah I took it far, because I was/am willing to make a point of it. I respect the fact that he’s into cars, but I will also call him out knowing he has the advantage in acceleration over me because I know I can compensate with actual driving skill and sheer chassis performance. It’s stupid to fight over the internet, which is why I was really mellow and neutral in this whole bob vs. travis argument to begin with… but to see the ignorant comments come out of this kids mouth ( especially when he was so nice to me in person ) really pissed me off. It’s no big deal tho, it is what it is. You really are at the point of no return, you either tone it down or you go all out… I don’t know your financial situation so I can’t comment on what I would do. It’s all about how you can get the most enjoyment out of your car. ---

yah my car should be fixed by late tomorrow night, don’t expect me until like… 11 or later. Financially i could save… and make it a project for next year, this year i’m just gonna get a few more things done, catch can, DR’s, traction bars, and coilovers… so i can run slicks. We’ll see though, right now i’m just trying not to drive it as fast as often as i use to, cause eventually my luck will run out. And no i’m not drunk, i only had ok well i had 4 drinks but i’m not drunk yet. EDIT: U and I are close together. ---

> [@Tripp](#): > > **lol yeah, they suck at autocross. And road racing.** Do you ever check results threads? Maybe, the Rolex cup perhaps? Do you even know what those are? Probably not, but I can’t say I would be all surprised. There are no s2000 or RX-8s that dominate the 1/4 mile track, so I guess I understand why they are slow at everything in your eyes, because from what I’ve read of your perspective straight line racing IS everything. Are you effing serious with yourself? You keep saying you never mentioned the STI sucking at auto-x, and here is the SECOND time I’ve quoted what you said. Perhaps you should make an appointment with a neurologist to get yourself checked out. Your memory seems to be slipping kid. ---

Maybe I should just turbo this thing and shut a lot of people up, no? :ninja Good point about displacement. Isn’t it factored by two pretty much, given the fact that a rotary completes more combustion strokes per revolution than a piston engine… I didn’t know you could rev to 10k… I always thought the redline was 9k, is your car modified? What made you change from the Type R? That’s a pretty good driver’s car and pretty quick too.
