who would win 1/4?

blah blah if you want a good handling sedan buy the 8, you want a sports car buy the 7 case closed

Who re-opened this thread, it was started two years ago.
1.srt4
2.350z
3.s2000
4.rx 8
this is how it would be in a straight line but on a track or autocross the s2000 and the rx8 would be in front.

350z
srt4
RX-8
s2000

RX-8 needs to be in 2nd gear when starting. pulls away and maintains lead over s2000. the torque from the srt's turbo makes it hard for the rx-8 plus I believe it has what, an extra 12 or so horses? The RX-8 is light but has torque issues. 350z would own by sheer power overtake.

HOWEVER, in a race on a track. You know- real racing? Order would go like this...
RX-8
s2000
most likely 350z
followed by srt 4

Are your serious? second gear. Have you ever driven this car, and if you do own one which I doubt, go ahead and try to launch the car in second gear.
The srt hp numbers are to the wheels and not at the flywheel which most people do not know.

RX-8 USDM has a lot of restrictions on the ecm because the engine pollutes too much and is a noisy engine, the car is amazingly fun to drive because for its stabillity thanks for the DSC (dynamic stabillity control on high power only) and the 50/50 weight balance but is not as fast as the people was specting when they saw it on X Men movie (remember?) even i was excited about it, but when i put the pedal to the metal i went desillusionated, i went thoughtful while i was driving it because i have a Civic making 12.3" in the 1/4 mille, but i decide to turn off the DCS and it was fun to do burn-out and drifting, then i notice that the car is for cruising, very good acceleration but just cruising with it with the sun roof wide open,by the way i work for Ford, sorry i mean Mazda, it is the same S@!*....

ive watched 350z's beat both rx8s and honda s2000s
but i think the honda would take the mazda

Definitly, even a SOHC (well equiped, all motor) will, but RX-8 has a lot of power hidden by the ecm. I have seen RX-8 with exhaust system, Nology wires, ground wiring systems and even with K&N intakes, but it only feels more noise.... If you want to see something interesting go to YOUTUBE and write TYPER VS RX8, then let me know. Adios

Let This Die Already!

there is no way in hell an all motor v6 or anything smaller other than a turbo rotary will beat a FI 4 banger or bigger...so in sayin that srt4, 350z, s2k, rx8...and i own an 8...but if you wanna talk sexiness, the 8 DEFINITELY LOOKS better than all the above...
