so im driving back home from getting some ice creams at DQ andan RX8 pulls up in front of me and guns it so im like this should be fun. he gets stuck in traffic and i pull up to a light and wait for him to catch up. i rev my engine and he complements my car, i complements his he says something but i dont understand what he says so im not sure if he wants to go. the light turns green and we both take off suddenlly i hear him gun it, i floor it and instantlly i gain like two cars on him bam second gear and i get another two cars on him. when we pull up to the next stop light and i was going to say that, that was fun but he didnt even look at me, oh well it was fun.

 

Nice kill. RX-8's = weak-sauce, S4 = **** haha

 

Nice man, lol @ Rx8's... POS's Imo

 

nice kill. personally i dont like rx8

 

ya i got a friend with an rx8 and i took him in 3rd gear when i was running stock. he wasnt actually slow because of all the mods he had in his car but he dynoed a very low 200 hp NA which is better good for NA. but still S4>RX8

 

rotary motor lol

 

true true wont denine that i would rather have the rx7 tho

 

a built FC/FD is insane. don't underestimate RE's

 

Rotary motors are beautiful even awesome when blown.

I think they had a recall or some type of offer because the first couple of rx8's that sold were way over rated. The whp on the dyno was like 20% less then the crank HP mazda claims. I just remember reading it somewhere, dunno if it was true.

Definately love the rx7's, but I wouldn't mind having one..it's just the rebuild factor every so many miles that I wouldn't want to do.

 

Lol my wording was off.. I mean there was a larger than normal difference between bhp and whp. BMW's especially the non M 3 series have issues with 60's and 1/4 mile times because of the 3.0x gearing in the differential so the out put to the wheels isn't so great. Luckily we have the option to yank the 3.46 diff from the automatic counterparts.
