If you really want a race out of it you might try starting in 2nd gear , or backing up a car and a 1/2

dont worry justin, you'll take alot of abuse over this,, as you already have [&:][8D]

i used to think that a RX-8 was fast, like an excellent roll race, but apparently we are both wrong...

they must just be good for handling because everyone seems to think they are toast for a 99+,, especially from a dig

Yeah, those RX-8s are all show and no go, not like RX-7s.

They weren't exactly built as a drag car with all 150LB-FT or torque... However, they beat 350Z's around a track and would probably be a close match for a non Z06 Vette'. At the strip it is probably a low-mid 14 sec car....
