Your fighting a losing battle. Though I love my RX8, we'll get beat by all of them in the 1/4 with equal drivers(but not by much at all). Add a track and then we'll do some damage to all of them.

To the guy arguing his point about the 8. I understand you but in the 1/4 we'll lose in most cases. But most people seem to forget especially most of the FD owners, that our RX8's don't have a stock Turbo in them or a huge Engine. The later RX7's were light and had Turbo's so they could do some damage. Take the turbo out of the 7 and its playing with civics. The 350Z and G35 have a huge V6 in them.(I really think of them as muscle cars anyway's). Then you have the SRT-4, EVO and STi which all have Turbo's and two of them with AWD!(Rally cars, LOL)

Also just to add a point alot of the above competitors have Big Name Performance Struts, Brakes and other performance enhancing products on them. Most people don't look into depth with things, but rush to pass judgement. The RX8 is all Natural, it doesn't need a Turbo, Brembo Brakes and Mac Pherson Struts to get good performance numbers. *Side Not* Holly Crap, imagine what it would do if it did.
