I've driven a S4 before.
Many people can't afford a R8.
I'm not a huge fan of Mazda or anything. I just have always loved the design and genius of a rotary engine. Audi @ Sebring
breaks down...
Racing Heritage? Yeah the RX7/Miata never won any classes. haahaha
The RX8 is the best of ITS CLASS, I know it can't compare to cars which run 3-4x the price. However, I will say that it can handle just as well as about any car in that $60-70K range. You're trying to compare apples and oranges on the street.
Oh remember the Mazda 787B? The one that won 24hrs @ Le Mans powered by a 4 rotor which had to be banned from the circuit because it had such a huge competitive advantage?
Ok, if you drive a Porsche or Ferrari, not only do you have sense but you might be able to argue racing heritage. Audi has dominated the LP1 class of the ALMS for the last couple of years. Mainly because they aren't running against much competition right now.
"I can't afford a R8"
Just give it 2 years they will be going for $60K hahah

Any pictures of your 996? Do you even own one? What members did you buy? I would think after starting that thread you would have announced your pick up and posted pictures like a good attention *****.

Poor Swifty.....No Taste, No Money!
*I think the Title of the thread is too long. Instead of "I'm pretty ignorant about Audi's", you can delete the "..about Audi's" part of it.

Let me know if you'd like to put a wager on that. If the average price of a R8 is $60K or less @ 4/1/10, I'll give you my R8. If the average price is >$60K, you give me your $30K 996.
How's that for a deal?

Swift quote from a different thread.
Apparently not.
Look Audi's new concept unveiled at the Vienna auto show:
I'll leave you guys alone, have fun with the Audi thing.

Hahah, I don't even care about taking off in straight lines but your son would get destroyed. Guess it's good that he gets better gas mileage and has room for an entire family with groceries.

After reading this whole thread, all I can say is WOW! Audi is a love or hate kind of car, they are no where near as bad as some people think. There track record over the last 4-5 years has greatly improved and the cars they make now are actually quite well made. They don't fall apart in 2 years as mentioned and they sures the hell were not designed to be a lightweight car. How you can argue that as making the car "bad" is beyond me. They can be made to be very nimble and despite there weight and stock power figures, there power and performance can be greatly improved!

Hey guys... I have been a lurker for awhile, but I had to join to reply to this thread...
this guy is a joke... so is his car... the RX-8.... HAHAHA.. an insult to the RX-7 and its heritage... Mazda built a chik's car... under powered and soft...
My 2004 350z will kill your RX-8 all day everyday... but so will a civic si, integra type-r and neon srt-4.... How do you feel about that??
How do you feel about getting your *** handed to you by a 20k car?? I used to street race and have NEVER lost to an RX-8...
Before you type anything else or make any comments about your car compared to ANY AUDI or ANY other car think carefully.... Look at your key chain and say to yourself..."Am I that dumb?!"
My 350 will even hang with your 996 and its about half the cost..
