A buddy and I ran into an RX-8 owner that we met a while back last night. While talking to him, he claimed his car ran an 11.5 ........... I chimed in that he would need about 430rwhp to hit that and he claimed it had 470HP!!!! We asked if he had the Greddy turbo kit or a huge shot of spray and he said it only had intake, Greddy exhaust, and ......... rotor work. We were too stunned by the bull shit to say anything but he invited us to come out to the track with him. Just wanted to let everyone know about the insanely fast mostly stock RX-8 rolling around. :D

rotor work, like an addititional rotor?

I smell the distinct smell of :BS:

No offense, but he would have to have some major work as well as a stand alone ECU to get those types of numbers.

That was the first thing I said, but he said nope, just two rotors. :doh:

i'd go with him to the track, just to hear the excuses when he run a nice 14.2-14.5 through the traps.

So.... when are you guys going to the track to witness this 11-second RX-8? I think you'll soon find out that this car is powered by bull$hit.

sounds like a load of BS to me

just some rotor work....hmmm oooooooooooooookay i'll bite...what kinda work? lighted rotors...or did he change out the seals with ceramic ones so he can rev to like 15,000rpm. (hmm not sure if it can do that underload in our car.) racing beats light weight rotors for our car are only .2 lbs less than stock (per rotor). so i dunno..oh wait...sorry i didn't notice my brain had raised teh B.S. flag even befor i started typing:p

The most powerful naturally aspirated 13B engines are lucky to be making in excess of 300HP. These engines arent even considered streetable. The fastest naturally aspirated dragsters weigh around 2000lbs and aren't street legal and are barely running low 10's. Tell him good luck with that rotor work.

hehe i've seen none-turbo'd 13b's with more than 300hp...but the 200 shot of nitrous oxide helped them out a lot;) hahaha

I don't get why people b.s. so damn much. This is so annoying.

hehe i have seen non turbo 13B's with 500HP! The supercharger really helped!

If only the rotors were changed then the volume of the engine would be about the same. Thus the ONLY way to get extra horsepower without some form of boost (i.e. turbo or supercharger) is a higher redline. To get 470HP he would need to double the air intake (among other things) which means he would have to run at least twice the stock RPM.

Therefore he has an 18,000 RPM Renesis (with proper porting and fuel management etc.)

I sure hope his transmission holds out at 18,000 RPMs :D

P.S. No offense intended. Former Texan here.

hmmm maybe he didn't do anythign but strap on a sr-5 booster to the top of his 8;) bet he gets a mad rate of climb off of his rx like that..hehehehehe

Bovine faeces.

Ok, I read this earlier today and I was with you guys: total BS. I went to the gym and one of the guys who works at the front desk is a total car nut and he says he talked to a guy with a red 8 w/turbo kits (he thought I'd be interested b/c of my 8). I told him that I didn't think they were out yet, but that they were coming. The car owner tells him that he added a ROOTER turbo-kit. I've yet to do a search on this, but kinda weird that the gym guy also met someone who claims to have made their 8 this fast...

well i can claim a whole lot of things.....but that doesn't make it true;)

rooter never heard of it....maybe bs...or just custom.....but alas..the most important thing is....i dn't have a turbo yet:( hahaha

I'm thinking of challenging this awesomely powerful car at the strip for slips. Running 11.5, he should take out my slow 12 second arcane RX-7. :)

lol when you win can i have the car:) you can never have to many rx-8's....or rx's for that matter:D

Yeah probably just another plummer who does turbo work on the side, like this guy.

Why people BS like that? It's the presumption that they are talking to a clueless person.

On a different note, did you ask him what level he is on NFSU2 now? I bet that's where he got the 470HP on his RX-8 from :D

LMAO... also listen to this guy (this was posted somewhere else but it is classic)... its about 30 minutes long but worth hearing the whole thing. http://www.housetepes.net/sounds/iroc.mp3

that maybe in the 1/8 mile and not in the 1/4 .

I was the one who said it, and I stand by my statement.

hmmm didn't the r26b oly put out 700 hp...and that was a 4 rotor pure race engine. mad large ports on her. so that would only be 350 for 2 rotors...i dunno...i too bad you couldn't grab his car and throw it on a dyno..or get a time slip:p

I was with rouge when we met this mystery man. This was the biggest crock of shit I have ever heard in my life. I guess he didnt relize we were car fanatics and more importantly have owned multiple RX7s. I cant wait to hear the BS when it flys though the 1/4 in the low 14's.

On a side note, the Greddy exhaust sounded pretty damn good.

I totally agree. He had a nice 8, he just didnt have to lie so dam extravagantly about what the car ran. He just sounded so dam ignorant. I like the guy but why lie???

You are Derrick's friend?

haha... thats the funniest 30 minutes ive heard in a while. It's gotta be a cop calling in and joking around

i think he waxed his car so much that he cut wind resistance to nothing.

No kidding. Im suprised he hasnt read this and replied to it. Or maybe he has and he just to embarassed. :)

so are you gonna see him run at the track or what???

Do you guys smell something funny?? :D

- Irish :cool:

Yeah, Il post what he runs as soon as i see him.

My friend had some porting work done by this guy

looks good...a little rough around the edges but thats ok...hows the flow on that bad boy?

You are Derrick's friend?

Haha. I fooled you. I live in Houston bro'. Well, anyway, this guy is a total liar, and I'm sure his intentions were meant to get the ladies, and possibly the men, into his bedroom.

HAHA
yeah you hit it right on the nail. Hopefully this guy sees this and chimes in soon

That IROC clip is classic, and gets better everytime I hear it.

Absolutely, but ya know, there might be a couple of special 8's in the area that can do this sort of thing. My gas mileage is so bad that mine is probably one that can do 11.5 in the 1/4 mile, I just can't find the after burner switch to light up the extra gas.:rolleyes: .

whoa i missed something!!! when the hell did you get an 8???? and hows the 7 running?

haha... thats the funniest 30 minutes ive heard in a while. It's gotta be a cop calling in and joking around
No, it's the host doing the voice of the guest. That's what The Phil Hendrie Show is all about (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Hendrie).

I am going to have to call definate BS on this, sounds like this poster child for a prophylactic probably ran an 1/8th and thought it was a 1/4 mile track.

WOW, way to revive a completely dead thread. In other news, i wonder what ever happened to this guy.
Oh, and i think Adrian officially has the fastest RX-8 in texas. If i ever get to putting my car on the 1/4 mile track he could have some competition :) I guess PTP could say theirs is the quickest, but they too have not put out official numbers yet.

somebody call the chief...

My Friend Went To Alamo Races Maybe Like 8 Months Ago And He Told Me About This Black Rx8 That Ran Low 12's... He Didnt Know If It Was On The Bottle Or Not.... Any News On The Mysterious 8....

lol i smell a "slight" hint of bs in the air..does this guy have a B.A. in B.S.?

Just when you thought this post was dead, someone with single digit posts brings it back.
