RX-8's are wayyyy over-rated. I've test driven one and was not impressed, however it is not a slow car. Nice kill!

In that market segment, the S2000 rules. Fast car, beats 99-04 GT's from a roll (dig rarely, but if you get a driver who knows how to launch one, that too) and the handling...WOW. I played with one a while back and was amazed at how it felt at high speed (over 100). VERY stable for such a tiny bugger.


PS, good kill on the 1.3 Liter.

gt40p heads, e303 cam, almost full bolt-ons and an sct dyno tune

Within a week or 2 I am hooking up a wideband to my car, I have way more than you with much less hp, lol (I think its pig rich, less power WOT than half throttle. secondaries are jetted 70...). Your advice to get a tune will be taken even though im giving the car away and going LS1 this summer.
yeah man, i thought mine was rich because i was shooting fireballs out of my exhaust pipes at high rpm shifts. tunes out i was way lean... still confused on that mess but its fixed now so its all good.

Good driver can get a 14.3, average driver anywhere from 14.5+
