It's definitely a different experience. I never felt the RX8 to be laggy at lower RPMs, it's a lightweight car so there is adequate torque. Smoothly revving to 9000 RPM is additive, and it makes cool noises. Pretty cool when you look at the size of the motor itself, it's about the size of a pony keg and sits very low and behind the front wheels for weight distribution purposes.
