I go to the 24 hour race at Daytona every year and the 8 is always the best sounding gt car, by far. It screams and yes shoots flames out of the back when downshifting into turn one after using the oval part of the track. The flames are mostly do to the rich fuel mixture.

I want that motor that Tremblay & Hamm are running. It sounds like a jet turbine when it screams on by. BTW.....You have to love seeing the 8 pass up Porsches and Corvettes on the straightaways. Too bad we can't do it in real life with our 8's.

According to Speed Channel, there are no more showings
Someone needs to edit it down from 2+ hours into a highlight reel for the PC for all us fanboys

3 Rotor race motor more than 300 HP I am quite sure. Plus the RX-8 is one of the lighter cars of the class. Until they start winning more.

425+ rwhp, the weight of the car is due to the torque of the engine, the 20b does not make the same amount of torque that the piston make
