@tinfoilandy when there is no load across the clutch, you can move it out of gear without having to use the clutch. try it on your car. it's actually pretty straight forward. i use it to double clutch without actually having to double clutch
People that would buy an RX-8 are those that are used to RX-7 especially those that are cool, just like me. Anyway its like an Euro, very stable and easy to control and the ferocity of the RX-7 but it doesn't feel cheap, unlike the Silvia's control and chassis weaknesses.
As for the ease of control, anyone with basic level of performance driving is enough to handle it, after that a bit of suspension tuning, etc will do. Basically I rate it a 95 out of 100.
Before I tell my impression of the RX-8 I will mention the RX-7, if you haven't drove a RX-7 you wouldn't realize the high standard of the RX-8. The RX-7 is a Pure Sports Car. The Roadster when driven is a lot similar (stability) to the RX-8 but the RX-8 rides more comfortable.Although it lacks power, its not meant to replace the RX-7 but an evolved form of a RX-7.
3rd translation Cockpit comments: Car feels good, Oops... I should brake a little, Oh very nice very nice, This time around we are testing the "S" spec loaded with a Torsen LSD equipped with DSC, In daily driving I would have DSC on. Its more stable compared to the RX-7, really stable, engine sounds really clean and crispy the engine revs very high, sounds like a siren unlike the RX-7 with a monstrous (or weird) sound. Very stable.
@8:46 "however, you can fool around in the back.........no chance!" So true!!

4th:
Although acceleration is a bit lacking but the car easily handles turn 1 and 2 of
(track name), not only a great car, daddy (Tsuchiya) won't feel ashamed owing one.
DSC 7 seconds OFF screen:
If the DSC button is held for more than 7 seconds, it can be disabled for the skillful drivers.

Clown (supposed to depict a woman) says:
My hubby used to be cool, he drove a RX-7 Roadster,
I wonder if this RX-8 can satisfy me?
Tsuchiya daddy loves FR (Front engined rear-drive cars),
in his opinion "a car that doesn't have speed or can't drift is not a car"
what about the RX-8?
gniskiy 1 year ago
First translation
The Rotary Machine is finally resurrected in the form of RX-8,
Its specialty is a compact rotary engine,
As a sports car styling and handling are important attributes,
The RX-8 sacrifices neither, furthermore its 4 door design improves practicality,
This time Tsuchiya will test drive this practical sports car.
