20b RX-8 early science

Hi how is everyone doing in this forum? Ever since the rx8 car has arrived i notice that the car is a little underrated w/ the rotary owners. i dont have plans on getting the rx8 anytime soon but am just trying to view my options. i understand that a 20b powered rx7 it can dominate the performance of the supra (thats what i believe), because you dont need as much horse to pull the weight of the 7 and the car seems to be an all sport type of vehicle. i notice that the rx8 the car has added some pounds (200lbs extra), but the car is still lighter weight than the rx7 competition of cars (toyota supra, 300zx, 3000gt etc.) but what i am curious to know is how would the rx8 perform as a substitute in replacement of the rx7 in drag/drift racing with the 20b type 3 rotor wankel engine compared to the rx7 competition. i understand that the 7 is the dominant car but being different with what car you drive can be a good thing as well dont you think? Please tell me whats the facts/opinions of this car ill be thankful for it

Thanks for your help

the rx-7 is a lighter car, and also sits lower. i don't knwo about the suspension differences, but i think the weight alone is enough to make the rx-7 a better car with a 20b
