i understand you're willing to put a lot of money and effort into maintaining a rx8. but believe.. you will hell regret.. a simple service.. can easily get 700 dollars. my cousin has one! also you said 380km for 61 litres.. but after time cars will run richer. my cousins rx8 is getting about 300 from 60 litres. i would choose the dc5>rx8! but best p-plater imho is ep3r =D
