But back to the point: My RX-7 and RX-8 were sports cars designed to be driven in a sporty manner. So I'll say it again, it's not a stretch to think our "Ultimate Driving Machines" are nothing less. In fact, they should be and are mostly likely, more.
But then, some folks have no feel for the machine. Yeah, load up the electronic gizmos; the appeal to today, but some folks are so tuned into a frigging LCD display now days, they've lost touch with skin and seat of the pants feel.

The RX-8 did not have an oil temp gauge and the coolant gauge was a dummy, it would stay down when cold and then move up to just past halfway when 'good' and then when truly overheating (i.e, after it overheats) it would just spike to the right side. Same exact thing with the 'oil pressure gauge' - you either had oil pressure or you didn't. Both of them were not true gauges , they even removed the 'oil pressure gauge' for the 09+. I owned 2 RX8's over the course of 6 years.
