Local dealer let me abuse the hell out of a RX-8 tonight.
We went on the parkway, it was nice, but it DOES feel like its missing about 50 horsepower, really did drive like a 175hp car in my opinion, so either the weight of the car is wayyyyy off, or the HP is way off. But it was nice to drive, quite smooth, just needs more power. |
this is what boost is for https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
ps. i saw a nearly stock (cat-back w/110k miles) kill an RX-8 on rt110 |
no ******* way the RX8 is pushing 250hp, no wayyyyyy
I trashed it on the Wantagh parkway and everytime I looked down at the speedo I wasnt going fast at all. It didnt feel fast, it felt like my old GXL. |
it might be true about that 5k rpm break in thingy they were saying

Where is Digisan on his tach? He needs to see if power kicks in at 5000miles! |
