Majority are running low-mid 15's and even high 14's with a good bit of mods when the Type S is supposed to run 14.8 bone stock in a 1/4. I've seen a vid on youtube of a Type S pulling a s2k in top end so I don't know if the RX-8 can hang in long run. But both the typeS & s2k were modded so in the end it all comes down to the driver. I'mma big fan of the vtec motors also; i'd rather get a rsx-s or the legendary acura integra type r if i had a choice of a fwd car in the future. Since you gotta bad clutch; your chances are slim buddy. But every cars performance also depends on how well you've maintained it..changing the oil correctly and getting tune ups.

Just my 2cents

I got videos of a mx-3 (with a stock klde 2.5 mx6 motor) pulling on a s2k from mid range to top end whats your point?
