My experience with the RSX is the rear lets go way to soon for it to be considered a real sports car. The S2000 would be a hard car to drive a daily commute but is the real thing.
you have to be kidding I had a RX8 and that car is super slow, and who wants to keep putting oil in every three fill ups......not me! oh and there is no way the 8 is even close to a crossfire in speed......

A 6-speed manual RX-8 however is every bit as fast as a 6-speed manual Crossfire...faster once the road starts to curve.
And a half quart of oil every now and then is no big deal.

The crossfire's low end torque make s a WORLD of difference as far as daily performance goes. Downside is the gas mileage suffers a bit compared to an S2000.
And I also shift under 2,500 RPM most of the time.

As for the oil issue, the rotary is designed to burn oil in the combustion process. As long as you are aware of this to me it is no different that putting gas in the car. Its just the stuff that makes it go!
And last Are those your legs ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My old Prelude was similar as well. <5k rpm it was blah, >5k rpm it was nice.
