I am not looking to go straight only, thats only a very very small portion of my driving and I never race, maybe some point on the track someday.

Side note reason I am asking is I am trying to find another sports car that has a somewhat small engine that I can eventually put a V8 in down the road. I have a Solstice right now that I am trying to sell due to job issues. I am looking at a crossfire, a RX8 was looking at the 350Z but the insurance will be a lot (my uncle has one and pays a lot for insurance.)
If you're looking at the RX8, then it better be new. Those new Renesis motors are total junk and you WILL use the warranty at some point for an new engine. The RX8's are nothing like the older RX7s
