Look the rx8 should have had a turbo from the get go ... it`s not exactly a lightweight car so it`s not going to be fast with a N/A engine . 180 hp @ wheels .if you`re lucky

dude, abit late with your suggestion.... the rx8 was aimed at a different marketQuote:

rx8's would be prtty quick. everyone saying they 'beat' them with ek's and b16's. when you say 'beat' what do you mean? What is 'beat'? is it gettin infront by a few metres then just calling it? or is it going full stick on a strip to see who's quicker? or is it even going full stick somewhere else because i would bet that an rx8 would have better top end than a b16.
work out what 180 hp is in kw ...lolQuote:

as a circuit car they work well as the weight split is 50/50 front rear ..doesn`t get any better than that . they handle very well but they lack in the go dept .. 1 more rotor should fix that ,
i know what 180hp is in kw.... and a stock rx8 doesnt not have that much at the wheels.Quote:

i thought this thread was about if a rx8 was fast , no car will be fast if an idiot is driving it ... and seriously if you think that a Dc2r , or a lancer mrcoupe, are sports cars ...you truely have never driven a true sports car . Now a s2000 thats a sports car .My mistake i meant hp not hp at the wheels , hp figures are always at the engine when spoken about factory vehicles ... so 180 isnt far off at all ..Quote:

i agree its just going to turn into a shitfight ... it should probably be locked now .Quote:
