So quit being stupid and bragging about your "fast" car that I can beat with my v6 truck!

I'm not trying to start a flame war here, but my lightly modded Celica walks away (slowly) from RX-8's and my lightly modded TII smokes my Celica, so he must mean against lightly modded N/A's.

your 8 also kicked my *** too, Oh do you have your midpipe yet
BTW a Greddy turbo kit is actually around 3 grand. The only reason it would be 6ish is if you ditched the POS E-manage in favor of an Interceptor-X, in which case you would be getting 100+ RWHP increases. YUMMY!

And imo the greedy turbo kits arnt worth it they only ad like 90hp for like 6 grand... and they are still not that fast.

Nah no beef at all, its an rx so theres def love for them too. We're just expressing the truth.
I mean thats like seeing your friends g/f and she's a whale and you're like damn (enter friend name here), your girl is ******* smoking hot, she could be a model.
Gotta tell it like it is, not hide it.

Some of you guys take it too far and make it personal. No need for that, at some point another 8 with more ***** might just walk the 1st gen. Then what?
Now, I was wondering about the turbos on the 8s just cause i keep seeing them around here. Most of the time I'm the one trying to be friendly but hardly any of them are even aware of why. I've only had about 2 or 3 RX-8 owners actually know I got a rotary also and wave.

IMO i think it needs a bit more. out of the box. but i've seen good numbers. one member was pushing 328hp to the wheels. which is pretty impressive. another 8 member wanted more haha so he went with a 3 rotor!. pushing 657 at the wheels? i believe. but the car is still new. waiting on some more products
The 20B i've seen one already, last year at rotorfest...I think its putting closer to 800 or more down! its a MONSTER.

I waited till this thread had three pages to read it. I'm glad I did. LOL That guy in the Rx-8 sounds like a real clown. I bet his 11.9 was an 1/8 mile run.
Nice job man.

Someday I plan on owning an eight, but the thing is: I wouldn't buy it for a sports car, more like a car to carry four people around in, get groceries, and travel in. I don't really look at it as much of a sports car even though the handling is great - it just strikes me as a car more suitable for a college student that has to travel around a lot with friends, or the parent that has a kid old enough to not sit in a baby's seat. I just don't see racing in one like any of the rx-7's. I think it would make a great car, though - aside from it being so ugly. That being said, I would still buy it long before any other new car short of a Porsche 911 Turbo.

a good friend of mine here has an 8 and i will admit, that car is soooo much fun! going to 9k rpms is a great feeling. and his is actually pretty fuggin peppy! it would have smoked my car in n/a form. but as my fb is now, i can annihilate him just leaving it in 5th gear and rolling out. LOL, but regardless his car at our local motorsport park (CMP) goes flawlessly. keeping up with the Porsche cars and all.
i <3 the 8

Yeah I was talking N/A Fc's but I know anything turbo would be a different story, but then again that's comparing apples and oranges; turbo to N/A. I would love to see a well tuned tuirbo 8 vs a TII or even a FD. Theres a thread on rx8club right now that has video of a stock 8 vs a Greddy Turbo 8. BIG difference. Wish I had money to turbo mine!
