Talk me out of this idea I had today….

What's the spec of your CS? If you end up wanting to sell the CS let me know! ; ) Current M2C owner looking to upgrade.

Don't do it!

I've know you for a while from the 1M Forum and I personally feel you will regret it.

The RX8 is incredibly nimble and buttery smooth, truly underrated car. I'm curious how it holds up to track abuse.

The answer to these questions when torn between equally good options is to choose both. Often implied mutual exclusivity of options is an evolutionary hack.

RX8 would need upgraded brakes for full time track site mainly for durability not for stopping power. Their floating calipers aren't really stout.

I have seen there error in my thinking. I will likely sell the RX8 and keep my two icons.

Epic!

Nothing sounds better than a rotary being properly used. I don't know if you ever watched the Rolex Grand Am series …. about 10 years ago there were a few teams running RX8's with NA 3-rotor engines, and they sounded amazing and were very competitive against the Porsches. They had to stop running them when the Rx8 left production.

Do you still have the RX-8? If so you will love this. Maybe your son will too. 😂

Hopefully he still kept the 1M and CS. Can't imagine selling them both for a B8 lol but to each their own
