2 of my friends, one with a 04 GT and one with a RX-8. They raced rolling about 40mph and the RX-8 beat him by about acar length. but....my friend with the 04 GT had his wife, grandmother and 2 kids in the car, if he didn't have the extra 350 poundsin the car, he should have beaten him.

why would u ever race with kids in the car?? let alone a grandmother and wife [sm=badidea.gif]

It's only a 4 seater and he's apparently the product of inbreeding. What a dumbass....

How would the automatic rx8 fair from a roll against an automatic gt?Doesn't the auto rx8 have less hp and torque?

RE: should i beat an rx-8

So you are saying a auto rx8 would take an auto 04 gt from roll? I thought auto rx8 were rated at like 197 hp and low amounts of torque. I know from a dig it would be no contest.

RE: should i beat an rx-8

Auto rx8 sucks hard, if you want a reason behind my opinion here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rx8
more speifically[*][:@][:@][:@]4-speed automatic tuned to 141kW (189hp) in some markets, while the U.S. automatic is stated to deliver 197SAE net hp (158kW) [:@][:@][:@]
but the 4 speed feels so damn weak, if you lose to that with an auto 04 gt you should be beaten, drowned, beaten some more the have your car repoed. [&o]

i dont know about this one since i havent driven one of these yet...[*]6-speed automatic (available in the U.S. market as of 2006) developing 212hp (170kW) with a redline at 7,500rpm. [&o]

RE: should i beat an rx-8

That's what I thought about the auto version, yet I could possibly seeing the manual rx8 being close from a roll. Still the manual still would get killed from a dig.
