Re: Me vs. RX-8

^^Agreed. I couldn't tell who won, much less if you were even racing. All I saw was some blurry tail lights and the road.

Re: Me vs. RX-8

I'm not saying the race was slow, I'm saying that you cant tell who won. Or if it was even a race?

Re: Me vs. RX-8

You wanted a video of the two cars racing to prove something. You got it. You want it to be shown in the day. You'll get it [if she [RX8] agrees]. NOW, you claim you can't tell who wins...When if you pause the video rigt before anyone puts on the brakes you can clearly see who wins.

I'm not the one racing, only chasing while my friend taped. But I do not understand what you all want...So far we have proved everything you have wanted, both drivers tried there hardest, the Mustng won...I've seen worse videos, mainly in-car vids where all you see are blinding headlights and trying to look through the A-pillar or back window...I guess if you all do not criticize someone on speech, its their videotaping capabilities...I'm sorry...we werent really trying to hard to make this a Fast and Furious III production...

Now that the cars have raced you say they are slow...did you expect some 12 second cars? We told you the stats of the cars...and you all knew they were both around 16 seconds...

Again....I dont understand...

Re: Me vs. RX-8

Ha yea you could tell that the stang won, I mean if you got real shitty eyes or a shitty monitor you might not but it was clear enough to tell who won. Congrats on the kill!

As said before th rx8 are low to mid 15 sec cars in the auto trim, high 14 sec cars with manuals and the last time I checked plain v6 mustangs were running low 17s high 16s stock, not saying thats what your mustang would run but I don't think flowmaster 50 series muffler and an intake is going to put the mustang in the low 15s, I could be wrong but I dont think it's going to happen. Next time you try racing a rx8 try racing someone thats going to drive the car like their suppose to be driven.

I said it before and I'll say it again rotarys are high rpm performers, not low to mid range tourqe beasts. I personally wouldn't buy a new rx8 however there is a supercharged version coming out in the future but it still isn't going to make them much faster but they still beat practically stock v6 mustangs.
First of all the RX-8 was racing, I have 4 witnesses of that and how is the car suppose to be driven its an automatic you just punch the gas and if you watched the video you would see that I won. I mean come on do you just not want to admit that I won.

Re: Me vs. RX-8

I've watched the video five times, and let three of my buddies watch it. They all agree, you cant tell its a race at all, and if it was, there is no winner.

that video was pretty bad. i had a hard time telling if they were really racing or not. it looks like they were just cruising along on the highway, barely picking up speed. you might be telling the truth, the cars might of been racing, but from the video, it really is hard to agree.

Re: Me vs. RX-8

The reason it might be hard to tell that they are racing is because (1) It is at night and the camera man isnt a pro. (2) I am chasing them in the G35Coupe which can outrun both cars by 1.5-2 seconds and I have no problem keeping up and just pacing them, staying behind the Mustang about the same length so of course, hes not going to run away from me.

Re: Me vs. RX-8

If u look at the white lines on the road at the start of the video and look at the lines 30 secs into the video you will be able to tell we were racing and if ya'll still can't tell we were racing, then we will try to get another race with a RX-8 in the daytime and get it on video.
