1/4 mile 14.5@96

148 mph top speed



.91 on the skidpad

and gets 18/24 mpg



not bad for wieghing in @3029lbs!



rx8 is prolly cheaper too

 

I llike that 1st gen.

 

slip an np sticker on there

 

yeah, but...........................



the IMSA car gives me WOOD

 

Does an rx8 really manage 60 in 6 seconds?



Mark

 

yeah i know, body kit still available too!

 

really, some one chop an np sticker on there and get that circulating

 

The RX8 does it with alot less horse too.

 

hmmm, fuel injection vs carb?

 

Probably a first gear that tops out a 70mph in the race car.
