these two are more closely matched then you think. then again those were the old slow rx-8's. gotians probrably is faster in a straightline since they fixed that horribly overrated engine. maybe his rx-8 might actually put down a "full" 200whp stock as promised from years ago.

The 06 was lowered at the crank to 232 and the power it puts down is195-200. Which when you think about it, the 350 is a good 400 pounds heavier than the rx-8 and puts down 220-230whp so the weight makes them run the same times as the 8, the balancing is very good on the 350 just a bit more weight towards the front since it has that big 3.5 in there.
