    The last time I checked, a few RX-8 was in the rolex 24 hours race and in Grand-Am.

    In my *auto.......* car, at a certain pressure on the pedal, the engine revs to between 2500 - 3500 before shifting, and thats some pretty nice torque for me. 4000 and up, ALL is lost, except for a lot more noise....
