Actually it drives similar to the svtf, you have to let is rev to get the most out of her. The rx8 redlines at 8500 rpm :blink:

It's in East Hamilton near Glendale golf course. The house backs on to the escarpment. I love it, forest to the back and nice view of the city on the terrace at the front. I should have a meet here some time in the summer, I have plenty of room with two decks and an 8 person hottub ;) . Approx. 4000 sq/ft (7 bedroom, 4 bathroom, two kitchens), and I need all of it with 3 kids and my mother living with us.

That's a sweet ride. Only one thing really keeps me from considering one down the road (besides the price): OIL BURNER.

You'd think they'd devise a better way to lubricate the little hamster wheels after 30-odd years of development :)
Daily driver 1: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport "S"

33" BFG Mud-Terrain KM2s, lots of Rough Country gear - bumper, 2.5" lift, swaybar disconnects, Superwinch 10,000lb winch, Detroit Locker in rear D44 axle, custom exhaust, K+N filtercharger, Superchips-tuned.

Daily driver 2: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT

COBB Stage 1+ package - AccessPort tuner, COBB intake and airbox. Stage 2 coming shortly - COBB 3" AT stainless DP and race cat, custom 3" Magnaflow-based exhaust and Stage 2 COBB tune.

I think with proper maintenance it shouldnt be that bad.

My RX7 never really burnt oil.....my CRX did burn more oil that RX7.

Mr. Wankel (sp?) from Germany was the inventor of the rotary engine...don't know what car was first with a rotary engine though.

I believe the 1st manufacturer to use a rotary engine was NSU.
