Mustangs are still better! I heard of the rx8 running about a 15 flat in the 1/4. Sound about right? And I myself have seen one get on it on the road, and the bottom end torque really sucks! These things can't take off at all!

Good kill Sean... I do however, think it's funny that the creator of 3.8mustang.com is getting questioned on his race stories though. BTW people, I've been to the track and seen a brand new (02-03) Mustang GT not be able to break into the 14s. So the RX8s that you see running "bad times" at the track, might be the track's fault, not the driver's.<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

I drove an RX-8, I use to drive an RX-7, RX7 would kick it's **** any day. RX7 didnt weigh much which is where the power to weight ratio REALLY helps out. The RX8 I drove was probably almost as heavy as my Mustang it seemed. </P>


I'm kind of dissapointed with the RX8. </P>


(ps - motor trends test on the last RX7 reported that the handling, accel and braking was the #1 in cars under 75K &lt;braking holds the record&gt</P>

What would be a better overall car, a mustang or a rx-8?? i know the mustang has more potential in performance, but overall?? My sister hasa few cars on her list. She's looking at a stang, rx-8, 350z, is300, g35 sports coupe, and a few other ones i forgot.
