    sorry but you have lost your mind lol

    My uncle owns and FD, and its 100 times faster than the RX8. Not even in the same class. The FD makes around 260-270whp EASY if the turbos are good and it has a FAT powerband.

    THe RX8 is like a honda, very peaky, an no TQ. Id bet it makes like 190whp.

    I mean compared to other cars in its class, its not fast. My roomates G35 would put a beat down on it IMO

    FD's are rated at 255bhp stock. That's about 215-225 at the ground.

    shit then its the fastest 225whp i have ever felt. My uncle has RSR exhaust and some intake system, and thats it, and that car is much faster than those numbers.

    I also thought they underrated the FDs from the factory for insurance issues
