It's not as much a thourough bred sports car as the 7. It stood no chance.

we did it several times.
guy looked pissed as he got off the highway. i actually gave him a thumbs up and he hit me with the anry face. wtf?
i thought these cars were supposed to be quick.
i have a near stock sr20det running 7 psi on a t25/t3. (a MILDLY upgraded stock t25)
wow... mazda's best effort to date happned a decade ago with the fd... the rx8 is less than impressive.

This is why everybody is dissapointed about the rx8.
It is NOT an rx-7, nor was it ment to compare to the FD.
They are very different cars. My feeling is that mazda will have something out for the more *sports car* minded people soon enough.

s13srmadness - you have giant ***** posting up an RX-8 kill on no pistons. I asked the mods to move your post because I thought it was in bad taste and was purely here to instigate a flame war.
This is Mazdas first offering of the new generation of rotary cars. I think they went conservative on purpose to prove that a rotary powered car can be very reliable. After the reputation they got from the FD's they needed to build a bulletproof car and I think that is what they did.
Mazda never intented for this car to be a supercar. Judge Ito ran a 14.5 in the 1/4 that is right where Mustangs are. My Mustang would run a 14.4. So I guess Ford built a slow car too with the Mustang.
Please define "Near stock". You obviously have a turbo upgrade I would imagine you have intake and exhaust work too.
Yay for you and beating a bone stock RX-8 you must feel superior now.
I am gonna go out and whip up on a stock Maxima and post it on a Maxima forum.
I'll do it with my Near Stock RX-7.

You have a modded car, and your bragging about beating a bone stock car?? (if your turbo has been worked over your car is not near stock btw, near stock is like a cat back and a boost controller)
There are some mildly modded rx7's that walk away from new corvettes, yet do any of us go to corvette forums bragging?? Why?? I have better things to do with my time.
It is entertaining to see people starving for attention tho. I clicked on your thread so I guess your happy.
