but how quick r the rx8s... i always have an impression that they not quick
they are fast .. 0-100 in low 5secs... just deceptively fast when you're driving it .. it's like a 350Z which is also very linear in power delivery.. they're just so stable and solidly built that you just can't tell how fast you're going until you look at the speedo. I was usually way over the speed limit without any effort at all. For a standard car .. they're incredible.
b16's can beat a rx8, i've seen it happen :thumbsup: but i dunno about driver skill though, dont think the rx8 driver was that bad....
my mates ek b16 beat an rx8 as well.
ive been in one before and they not that quick. 0-100 in low 5's... hmm not so sure about that one.
the story is .. I bought a DC2R after selling the RX8 so I could use the left over money for something else. and also to have a new project car to play with. I drove the DC2R which was totally stock for 2 weeks. I was very very dissapointed in the lack of power .. even in vtec. Handling was extremely good even compared to the RX-8 .. actually nothing really comes close to the DC2R chasis.
After looking into modding the DC2R .. the cost/power ratio was just ridiculous .. the amount of money you have to put into it to get it anywhere near a turbo car's power seemed sily to me. so after 2 weeks .. I swapped it for a WRX with 180kw atw. I just like the turbo kick in the pants feeling that the DC2R doesn't give.
so there's really no comparison from a RX8 to a DC2R .. very different machines ... the RX8 was effortless to drive and fast without really having to try. The DC2R has to work pretty hard to get going .. I didn't really feel it was the legend it was suposed to be.
fair enf Joey... but u also have to keep in mind that .. honda didnt design them for straight line performance ... they r there for well balanced handling.. and i think they did well in that area... well for FF anywya .. i dun think i ve driven any other FF car that handles better then a dc2r
ok .. sorry . the rx8 is more like 6.2 secs to 100.
and yes the DC2R was one of the most balanced cars I've ever driven .. could use about 30kws more maybe .. but t was a incredible chasis. Just not a car for everyone.
