SUCKER! :2up:...... you got smoked. It's one thing to get beaten by a rotary if you're an "American muscle car"... but to get beaten so badly you have to flick me off and cross 4 lanes to get off the highway?... come back for more anytime.
I have to add this... it's not just the horsepower of the car... it's the driver at the wheel.
Oh yea - feel a little like this?:rant:... cuz you got :idb:.

The RX-8 isn't a drag car, nor do I ever intend it to be. I test drove both the Z and the 8, and the 8, in my humble opinion, can out-handle the Z all day long... now as far as a straight line from a dead stop goes, yea, I'll get killed by the Z anytime... but then again as I've said before - drag racing isn't impressive... speed + handling impresses me more.

Well... I usually just ignore mustangs but... it was black, with that late 90's rounded body-style, and the "GT" on the rear skirt under the bumper, and a "GT" badge just behind the wheel-well.... you tell me?
Black on black, black wheels, black tint.... would have been a nice car if it wasn't a Mustang.

that's probably why he wasnt racing...he was just cruising in 5th or what not and this clown rolls up and flies off....
seriously though, when I drive around and see a Rx8, the last thing that comes to mind is...."oooh, that's a race car"

Wow... such a shit talker... you know the RX8 isn't impressive right? k, just making sure. Congrats, you beat a stock car... You really need to quit talking such trash about other cars.. In the few posts you have, all you've shown is a very cocky and looking down on other cars aside from the "almighty" rotary RX8 as shit. So keep it up man, and if you ever feel like "smoking" another mustang, I'm not far, and unlike you I am not a shit talker when it comes to cars.

.....and what exactly are you implying? speed plus handling is why you bought an rx8? ummmmm...wrx is in that price range....on the other hand....since your in marietta....and you don't like mustangs sooo much.....come run mine...it's a basic bolt-on slow-ass automatic.....lets see just how fast your rx8 is :rolleyes:

I have never lost to an RX8 in any car I have owned. Even when the G20 was breaking up, making maybe 210 whp at stock boost they just cant keep up. Which is sad.
I'd rather have an FC than an RX8.

Damn you kids get your panties up in a twist fast, eh?
Let me re-state some points I made earlier, and in other posts
a) I've never once said the RX-8 (stock or otherwise) is a straight-line drag car, nor will you ever hear me say that... it's not
b) In this specific instance I was the only one not looking for a race...
Give it a rest guys, seriously. I am hardly talking shit here... the car I drive is bone stock right now, and until my 75k warranty runs out, I'm going to hesitate to do anything to it otherwise... and it'll be a cold day in hell before I drag race anyone ... I think I've actually said that before... did I mention I don't drive a drag car yet?
This isn't "The Fast and the Furious"...and I don't know jack shit about drag racing... let's do some Auto-Cross...
I've said my peace, now I'm done. See y'all out there...

funny how this thread started with some racing in a highway pull, and ending with "I dont drag race". I get it, it must have been a twisty highway. :goodjob:

ROFL! Nice... well, 285 on a late Sunday afternoon can get twisty, hehe... actually to be honest, my wife was determined to see me push the car a little since I was barely over the speed limit since I got 'er.
As a rule, I won't drag since I (a) suck due to lack of experience, (b) dont' have the torque/low-end HP for it... and generally don't like the ticket associated with getting busted, haha... although, ... getting busted -just- inside the perim. on I-75 doing 87 in a 55 sucked.... d'oh. I wonder how much that's going to set me back...<sigh>... "stupid tax" I guess.

actually.. previous stock mustang GT's get knocked around pretty bad by S2k's on the highway, they just arent geared for top end, and are very restricted from factory.. a rx8 isnt alot slower than an S2000, so i kinda beleive it.

The s2k knocks the rx8 pretty easily. It's not a huge blowout, but it's easily done. Seeing as how the s2k and 350z are dead even in the straights, I'm sure you know this :)

Well my car isn't stock, so I'd have an advantage assuming you're stock.
Yes, we all know that a 350 will pull an S in the high end and freeway races because of the extra power and gearing. However, from a dig you're going to lose every time. The higher gearing and 600 pounds of weight make a big difference.
However, both cars pull a 13.7 in the qr. Two S2000 drivers have pulled a 13.6 but that is of course, extremely rare. Both cars easily hit high 13s with a good driver, so yes, basically both cars are very well matched in terms of straight speed.

i guess we can do both if you'd like (dig on a warm day, and a highway roll), but yeah i guess you are right 1/4mph wise they are pretty even stock. but highway rolls are dominated by the Z. the Z is alot easier to get 13's out of than the S2k
im not stock stock, but close.

while the rx8 isn't going to beat much on the road from a to b it is a very fun car to drive. i know i will get beaten by 95% of the cars on this forum and that doesn't bother me...the rx8 simply puts a smile on my face whenever i push it. Sure it sucks on gas and isn't the fastest car out there but i enjoy it for what it is, a perfectly balanced rwd mildy quick vehicle. atleast let me have that.

i drove an RX8 aggressively, very well balanced car, has an edge over the s2000 and 350z on a road course as far as driver feeling in control/cornering speeds go, RX8 also has superior gearing for the twisties, the only thing it needs is power.. nothing a nice Turbo kit and tune wouldnt fix
