RE: RX-8?
Spearment you're ABSOLUTLY right... but that was the question in this thread... "Will a stock rx8 beat my 2001 GT"... so the answer is yes, the awfully slow 1/4 Mile RX8 will lose the race... now go on like a road course with it.. and you better have some damn good suspension and some talent if you want to beat one

1/4 mile - yes you win.
Road course - no, he walks you.
Autocross - he makes you his b****.

I'd give it to the RX-8 from a roll too..... They aren't as slow as you guys probably would like to think.... They are comparable to S2000s in torque,HP, and weight..... But like I said, nobody buys an RX-8 to go terrorize the strip...

Mafia.. even tho there is a 40hp differance... my buddy when he stole the rx8 - the v6 automatic mustang beat him from behind... and it was from a roll... yeah you buy them because you're tryin to road race, or for looks, not for the strip... im still hoping they come out with a Mazda Speed version of it...

Yeah, 14.49 with great driving sounds about right. A 99-04 GT should be capable of about a 13.9 with good driving skill, I've heard of a 13.7 from a reliable source (NOT typical, though).

13.9 isn't even typical for a stock 99-04GT... I'd put us near 14.2-14.4 which is pretty close to the Rx-8. Also, just because the person is a professional driver doesnt mean they are going to perform perfectly with that car....

you just owned yourself by your own logic. They are a 14.5 car with an amazing driver... i've seen them run 14.9's best. The GT's about .4-.5 faster given equal drivers.
Also, i keep seeing one around campus it has a small greddy sticker... wonder if its actually turbo'ed i'd like to run it.
