Default vs. Mazda Speed RX-8 and BMW 330ci

trust me i'm not a big fan of the "who would win" posts, but i'm having an argument with one of my friends as to which is faster for about three days and i just want it to stop [sm=insomnia.gif]

and the only reason i get on here and ask is not only to end it but because two out of three cars in the equation are fantasy, so we couldnt just run out to the streets and find out for ourselves although we'd love to.

so, lets say that both drivers are of equal skill and both cars are manual transmission

the battle is between:

2003 mustang cobra (chip, pulley, CAI, full exhaust, DRs and a 125 shot of the juice)

vs.

1999 BMW 330ci (full bolt ons, full exhaust)

and the same cobra

vs.

2004 Mazda Speed RX-8 (full bolt ons, full exhuast)

what would be the outcome?

thank you for all responses ahead of time.

Neither of the other two cars are boosted. The Cobra would stomp a mudhole in both of their a$$'s... ESPICALLY is the cobra is tuned just right for the juice. Gods sake... thats a low 11 sec to a high 10 second car if you can hook. Thats my opinion though.

I suppose it comes down to what you consider "bolt ons" but i agree with ^^^^^^ a cobra with just what you mentioned is going to be one helluva beast if tuned right

I'm not sure about the BMW, but an 03-04 Cobra would eat the living hell out of an RX8.

I don't think you'd see his headlights anymore after racing one.

It's slower than a fuggin 99-04 GT for Gods sake.

The cobra would indeed rape them worse than michael jackson would an 8 year old boy. As far as it being in the 10's with a 125 shot and a pully (hooking) i dunno about that. 11's for sure.

Ive seen a pullied Cobra with full exhaust (and gears I believe) on slicks run a 11.5 at a horrible track. Add a 125 shot to that with a great tune and you're looking at a 10 second pass easily.

awesome, i'm going to show him this, call him a sally and give him a nice firm bitch smack [sm=icon_ladiesman.gif]

although...

he still may come up with idiotic excuses or just be stubborn and not believe it...

so is there any way i could get anyone (especially 2000si [sm=smiley20.gif]) to get me a link or website or a number of websites that i could particularly look up the specs on those two imports?

or maybe you can look them up for me [sm=smiley8.gif]
