also my buddy has an 05 shinka RX-8 and though we never raced, having been given a ride in it, i can't say it feels that much faster than my car, the handling on the other hand is ridiculous.

the shinkas are heavy as crap for the 8 on top of that they fixed the ecu for the 06 model and also upgraded the suspension on it, the car puts down 200whp now, it's been proven by actual owners. also ask anyone whose dynoed their 350z they never get more than 245 and that is if they are lucky. Most 350's end up with 220-230
