Apparently 0-60 is 6.2 or 7.0 seconds depending on which engine it has, that 
doesn't sound too slow to me.

As Eero said, you are probably used to a normal petrol engine where the 
maximum torque is usually at quite low rpms and then fairly constant.  With 
the RX8 the torque builds up until it hits a maximum at quite high rpm, so 
if you are trying to drive around at 1000 or 2000 rpm it *is* going to feel 
slow.

They are probably really simple to fix though, compared to newer cars.
