My car is finally here!!!

Woot...after paying the deposit and waited for two weeks, my beloved RX8 is finally here! However, since I went down to Kuala Lumpur one day after I got my car, I don't have time to post it until today, and since today is Saturday, I decided to get in touch more with my car by helping her to bath before sent her for some long awaited photography session.

Driver view and my leg:



Look at the electronic rev limiter. The RX8 auto can rev up to 7,500rpm, but if the engine is not hot enough, it will limit your rev in order to protect the engine. There are actually three level or limit, and if you start the engine from a cold start, there will be another level of rev limiter which limits the rev up to 5,000 rpm only.

Besides, I only get my car less than 2 weeks, but already travel more than 2000km.



The radio, gear and handbrake:



And finally the roaring rotary engine:



The RX8 is really a fun car to drive. It's nice for cruising, and it got the power when you need it. When you are up for spirited driving, the handling won't failed you although I haven really tested it yet.

However, the RX8 is not a fast car on straights. I tried a 0 to 100kmh run before, and it takes almost 9 seconds to reach the century. Although this is faster than my E46 355i (takes almost 10seconds), but in my opinion, the E46 will be the one faster to reach 200kmh. Therefore, I still can't really play with other car on speedway :p
