It was the automatic RX8...so slow. I believe the manuals were a bit faster and the later year model's were better, but man did everyone crap all over that car.
The ONLY thing going for it, albeit a HUGE one, was the chassis. So underpowered they were sued. A 1.3L(Equivelant Wankel size) that gulps fuel with no turbo to the tune of an optimistic 16MPG driven moderately. All kinds of electrical issues. You had to let the car run a while to turn if off properly...wtf? What else?

Edit: Yet SOMEHOW it won the huge majority of test against the 350's of the day because it "had a back seat" and was better in traffic....Rag editors are on meth. *edit Edit...Despite losing every conceivable metric in performasnce. Not by "Well that could have gone either way", no butchered it, to the point of my cat could have tested against the 8 in my 350 and murdered it. It has backseats so that negates everything. Cant park the farking thing without flodding it IF you have enough gas to attempt to start it.
