Hey man. Glad to see you have well thought our arguments and can admit you had some bad habits (one hand at high speed). That's rare on youtube. Usually it's "No I don't, you do!" Good job keeping your cool. I did not think your driving was bad other than yes; it's obviously illegal at those speeds. But the entire point of the video was to see high speed in an RX8. If someone doesn't like it, don't watch it.
i havent gotten then chance yet to top out my rx-8 but i know it wont when any races on a straight away but it has the best handling at high speeds something these american cars dont have
I've done 151 mph roughly 243 kmh...and it still could off gone up some more...so I think the actual top speed is 271 kmh since I have seen it on the RX8 that was in the autobahn...
Tell you what, fast driving doesn't kill people... if you're driving in a good road. This road seems to be quite bumpy and uneven to drive at such high speeds. In Germany you're at best allowed to drive 100 kph on a road of this quality.
That being said, the car is awesome... and I don't really care what you do over there. In fact, noone but the highway patrol should care... at least as long as you're not killing anyone on the road ^^
@aradioactivedonut what a stupid ass comment lol. theirs shitty drivers everywhere and theirs a speed limit because we dont want 50% more ppl to die every year.
I like this car quite a bit, but your driving in this video is shit. What you did to that red car is borderline harassment, too close, foo fast, overtaking on the right, and when passing the SUV you've blocked the second red car leaving him perhaps a 2 metres space. That's not stupid, nor is it crazy, it's just simply bad driving. Please don't quote Germany as an excuse for your offensive driving, for the crap you pulled in a 2 minute video alone, you'd get here at least 4 points in flensburg.
I am not saying you are wrong. You are totally right in a country where everybody respects the distance, and people pull to the right when not passing.
Now the thing is, I expect a car to pull to the right when another car comes faster behind her (which I do).
Something else, if you keep a large distance (with the red car), they will NEVER EVER pull to the right, only way to have them move is to get close so they understand you want to pass... And even then..
Now I am not saying my driving is perfect, I am being agressive, which happens to me sometimes after having 10's of cars never pulling to the right...
But I do not think my driving was unsafe, and in my opinion, that is the only important thing...
That is a good point, but see, when you look at your own video - the left lane, when you do the initial maneuver is slightly faster than the right one, they were actually overtaking the other cars (just not quite as fast as you ;))
But I'll admit, I find it peculiar that they didn't switch lanes when you approached, perhaps the red car drivers thought that the paint job would make them faster.
i know that my ml500 could beat any time the rx8. i have a v8 5.0 liter with 367 horses because i have a high flow muffler that added horses to my ml500 plus an intake plus something else...the thing is that my ml500 kick ass i could beat a ml55 amg with no problem at all. Me and my boy were racing and he has a evo and i smoked him quick. it was stock though, anyways in other words my ml500 is quick plus im willing to upgrade my mercedes computer, is it going to be very quick simobk?
I got to play around in the snow with mine yesterday and they're really a blast, easy to control too. the fastest I got mine to was 140 so far, I ran out of road. love the car though. mine's an 04.
these fuckin cars eat up gas like it aint nun yo i have a rx8 dats da bad thing about it an my fuckin tranny went on it at 91k only had it fa a yr i cant wait until im done fixing it but gud shit brah
@ magneto90 i agree 100% car doesn't make a person, the driver does. you feel good in it doesn't matter what anyone else says. unless its a prius. :) this car really is a huge bang for the buck. its almost like stealing it when u buy it. loaded with a lot of extras mid engine rear wheel drive, limited slip dif. come on what more do u need!
I honsetly don't remember if the windows or roof were open. But you don't hear the wind that much at high speed, so I guess either sthg was open or the camera had a wrong sound...
Regarding what you said about the rx8 in the curves, I have a question :)
I didnt drive yet on tracks with my rx8, but I was wondering if you would advise or not to remove the control stability in order to take advantage of the back of the car drifting a little bit. So do you keep in the curves the stability control? thank you and thanks for the video!
I know I am biased, but I would DEFINITELY go for the RX8. :)
The Z4 gives you more luxury and prestige... You will be well seen by people...
The 8 on the other hand, will give you pure emotion, extraordinary handling, and 2 more places for passengers :)
The RX8 does require more day to day attention and care though. She's like a woman, you take care of her, she'll give it back to you. But if you don't, you'll live a life of problems :)
wow ims show this to my dad.. he thinks the mazda is unreiable and the z4 is a better choice and i know the two extra seats will come in handy.. i really really want the new camaro v6 tho but thats proly not gonna happen due to the high demand..
ok nice video and more people say great car than crap car.... but if its such a good car how comes you dont have it anymore? just wondering as im looking on buying one so if theyre just money costing time consuming spend more time in a garage than on the road peices of crap obviously not going to but if theyre awesome and good daily car and good to drive il have one lol thanks for any reply/help :D
Insurance is a hard thing to estimate, there are so many parameters. I would suggest you google "Insurance Quote", you'll find many website that can give you a quote online :)
Very glad to read you found a track and realized that 2 hands are better than one. :)
Funny I was watching the video and besides the public road part the first thing I thought was why only 1 hand driving. I laughed when I read the comment overlay of the video.
the author of this video is a fucking touche bitch. if anyone gives a comment or question he doesn't like he flips out. just ignore it no need to get your panties in a bunch all time.
Please explain how I am "flipping" out. I am replying to every single comment. I put my replies on the video itself because I got tired of the same questions asked over and over again... Now, its your opinion and you have the right to say it. Good for you ;)
No need to max it on the highway, its not half the fun of this car, but I would really suggest you take it to a track, that's where it really feels alive :)

Next time you decide to take your car on a public road and drive at such a high rate of speed, do the rest of the world a favor and AT LEAST put both hands on the steering wheel. Thanks.

For the record, I always turn off the video annotations because they get in the way. Next time, though, I'll be sure to do my research before I point out something so dangerous. I mean, I do have a reputation to uphold, here, don't I?
Well well, then do you think I do have a reputation to uphold? If you think yes then think again. And YES, before commenting, you should do your research. And yes, even though I wouldnt qualify it as sthg "so dangerous", I did change my habits and I did mention it in the video. I pointed it myself which is exactly the reason your comment was... well... Useless at best ;)
Seriously I would if I could afford to have many cars, but this not being the case, I will get another car from my list of to-do's :D

TheGroaker 2 years ago
I would say it depends... The RX8's DSC allows up to 3 feet of drift before it starts.
In dry weather conditions, I believe a 3 ft drift is more than enough to keep your speed up. So, I keep it on.
But in the wet/snow, I always disable it because it just comes in the way when driving ;)
PS: I have other videos on track if you want to see how she handles ;)
