I used to have an RX8 and they are pretty comfortable... But not as comfortable as the Cosmo.. Fun factor? Well, 8s definitely more fun than Cosmo and I'm sure with 3 rotor it might be more fun.

I've never driven a Cosmo, but RX8 felt really nice when I drove it. I guess it's not on park with cars like SC430 but I couldn't tell a difference

You should get RX8 and put boosted LS3 in it. But why not get a Z06 instead..

...remove it and replace it with an adequate sized turbocharger.

Here comes all the good stuff! We are wrapping up the custom intercooler pipeing, turbo mounting with downpipe and connecting the exhaust. Hopefully all the "plumbing" will be done mid next week. Then we can attached the exhaust with those *****in Titanium Renesis Exhaust tips from Knight Sports

I foresee some major cooling issues with the IC and AC condenser blocking the radiator. 20B's are much harder than 13B's to keep cool, and 13b's are even a pain. Been there, done that, a few times actually.
