The RX-8 didn't win the competition based on its engine.

When I read this in the magazine, I had a hard time understanding the cars they chose. I can understand a comparison between the G35 and the RX-8, but why did they throw a Mustang in there? The backseat is nowhere close to usable, and it just isn't the same type of car. An SVT Cobra really isn't meant to be civil in any way, unlike the other two.



I think they should have used the G35, the RX-8, and find a 3 series BMW for kicks.
it no fun to do an apples to apples comparison all the time. besides if they had thrown a normal 3 series in there it would have gotten its ass whooped (but its c&d so maybe it would have won? they seem to like the roundel)

And probably wouldn't have done too well if that was the determining factor. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Nope....it was a little too gutless in the midrange compared to the other two.

It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning and the RX8 won. Engine or not

It won because it's light and stiff.



When people say things like:

"so they thought to throw in a V8 just to show that a rotor is better and to show us that if you want a real car, to buy a rotary"



and



"see ******* Rotaries kick ******* ass **** that. No car can compare to the Renesis. What!! I love em "



it's completely pointless because the car would have done even better with some midrange torque, which you can't get from an N/A rotary.

you can get midrange torque out of a rotary, you just need more rotors
