Do you guys think an Rx8 will survive a long journey? I'm thinking about driving mine from Baltimore to Philadelphia which is about 125 miles

Baltimore to Philly isn't a long drip ya dingus. That's like 2 hours.

I know it would be an easy trip for a normal car, but an RX8 is far from normal. I just wanted to be careful because the car itself is very fun to drive, but I'm just not sure if it'll hold in warm temperatures.
Just do a check over the car before the journey, change oil, coolant if you haven't in a while all the rest and you should be fine. Don't forget to premix

It will be fine. I wouldn't do a 500 mile trip that involved crossing a desert but if it breaks down literally anywhere on the east half the US there's nothing but endless civilization to help you in any direction.
Out west where I'm at the nearest actual city is a 120 round trip with a whole bunch of fuckall between that. Otherwise it's literally just the state capital in the opposite direction for a 300 mile round trip and major cities in neighboring states.

Just don't forget to pack at least a couple extra sets of apex seals.

Its not a long journey. For a vehicle with am engine that doesn't spin about in circles its nothing. But since you drive a washing machine with wheels its practically going to the moon

Ok yeah that's true. I'll just do a maintenance check beforehand.

If you've taken care of your RX-8, it shouldn't be a problem.
I drove mine from Connecticut to Florida a few months ago with no problems.

Its a performance engine that likes being driven hard.
Are you fucking serious?
Are you gonna drive the entire trip at redline wtf???
>>17466177
Lmao. I regularly put 500km or more a day on my FD. you'll be fine. Stop being such a little bitch.

My RX8 dragged me, my wife, and a friend to Otakon many years from philly burbs. You will be fine.
