I superimpose these curves from R&T into a single graph.

2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary
1/4: 13.4 sec @ 101.1 mph

2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo
1/4: 13.8 sec @ 101.5 mph

2003 Porsche Boxter S
1/4: 14.0 sec @ 100.5 mph

2003 Nissan 350Z
1/4: 14.3 sec @ 100.2 mph

2002 Subaru Impreza WRX
1/4: 14.4 sec @ 95.4 mph

2004 Mazda RX-8
1/4: 14.5 sec @ 95.6 mph

As you can see, the RX-8 is on par with the WRX. Their curves almost match exactly.

Another thing would be a price comparo.:) :loco:

Did they change gear in the Corvette? All the other graphs have big notches in them... :)

It looked a little odd to me too. But I think, the driver must have power shifted. On the other hand, whoever tested the RX-8 really blew it on the 3rd-4th shift. It took almost a second!
