9 out of the top 10 isn't bad 

[Onslaught]

It's amazing how they can push those slow POS cars and steer them with the windows down at the same time.

[the Teuton]

It wasn't in Ohio this year, was it?

it is impressive how badly the lack of torque shows up in a tight twisty track...

[TheIntrepid]

I can see poor Yoder at the bottom trying to keep up, but his measly Nissan just can't keep up.

[BimmerM3]

That's a bit of an awkward statement. You shouldn't end two consecutive clauses with the same phrase.

We prefer road courses. Autocrosses are for the weak.

What does having the windows down have to do with anything?

[Raghavan]

Oh you know... those POS RX cars can barely move from all that drag caused by the windows being down... These days you need at LEAST 400 lbs-ft of torque to drive in traffic...

I forgot about that. What crapwagons!

Sorry I wasn't clear. You have to push the car from outside at the driver side door and steer the wheel through the opened glass. You could try actually driving the car but the RX-8 is a "torqueless wonder" and it would be faster to just push it.
