In fact, the tacho reads until 10,000rpm. However canot redline until 10k. the rotary is a high rev engine and can rev until slightly more than 9k before the fuel cut.... Power wise, Low end torque is rather disappointing for a sports car, altho still can win 90% of the cars on the road. However once u hit 3.5k and beyond, the real power comes in.

As for "g force", the rotary is not like Vtec where u always hear pple say "I loot until gor cheng (5,000) rpm then my vtec kui, chia sipeh kin." Dunno abt the ss2 though cos i still maintain my stand that this car is not in the league.

To conclude, low end torque is not too good, mid-high end torque is superb. THe sound of the rotary is sweet!

Go with ur heart, if u still have the boy racer in u, go for DC5R. If u wan head turner car, then rx8 is the choice. Mods will come much later. U wan rx8 to be damn fast, its not impossible, its how much u want to spend only. There are mods that can increase 70hps easily for the car. Also have those that increase 50hp. Its how much u willing to devote ur time n money into that car niah.......

Handling wise, like i said earlier, rx8 wins hands down. Again, the driver plays a big part too.

- 250hp can beat dc5r and ss2. SS2 is rather crappy. No offence, celica owners. But again, its how u handle the car.

- 210hp = auto version. Yes, lose to dc5 and ss2. U cun compare an auto with manuals anyway.

- Pricing wise, 210hp is ard 103k. Theres no more jdm 250hp. No one bringing in. Mazda motors rx8 is detuned to 231hp. U cun feel the difference in 19hp. Its only figures anyway. MM retailing at ard 132k.

- mod potential, u can change everything from intake to muffler and tuned the ecu, but hitting 300 horses staying NA is still very difficult. Y wld u wan so high horses? Too fast too furious? Like wat cannavaro says, u wan a straight out performance car, go for DC5R or even EVOs or WRXes (altho i dun even consider the DC5R to be a performance car. I tink stock vs stock or equivalent mod vs mod, rx8 can still chiet dc5r hands down). RX8 is not in this category. If u wan a headturner car, then rx8 is the choice. Go down orchard road in the 8 and chances are u will turn more heads than the other choices here if u dress up ur car nicely.

notice that i did not even mention the ss2. Iin terms of looks and performance ss2 cun really compare.

end of the day, ask urself wat do u really wan? Looks? Style? Performance? RX8 gives u the perfect balance. DC5R and SS2 are the typical boy racer car. Put urself into either one, chances are, pple will call u an ah beng.... agree??



210 manual also loss celica lah. no nid say dc5 liao.
250 version beat dc5 & celica, try before already?
equivanlent mod to mod, dc5 can easily reach 300+ hp, rx8 also no chance.

===========================================
100% no respect of other people ride.

"notice that i did not even mention the ss2. Iin terms of looks and performance ss2 cun really compare."

WTF is this? can say the car crappy zzzzz
rx8 v chio meh? the wheel arch look like praying mantis!

================================================== =====

u don`t even know how ss2 engine works, already say not in the league.
it has lift cam, which is almost the same as vtec.

================================================== =

don`t tok so much rubbish lah, put date & time, go GP try with my ss2, pls dun bring the waste time 210 version k, tat time i push 1, when i hit lift, i have to release throttle to prevent hitting him, v slow zzzz.
just bring the 250 version!

Yah man... 2zzge, how old are you? Your SS2 very fast, very chio... happy? Be good and run along now. People get sensitive about their cars, but you don't see us going to your club forum and posting crap, do you? We don't **** in your house, so show some respect when you're visiting other car club forums.

Cannavaro, confirm your flight liao ah? Wah.. 250HP bicycle very hiong man... but dun need to waste your time lah. I think 100HP bicycle more than enough liao...

How to be equivalent? You must be quite GIFTED to be able to work out the the proportion between piston and rotary when the experts cant give an exact figure.

If looking like a praying mantis is the rage now to get the gals (its obvious which they will choose), I am definitely not going to argue about that.
Oh forgot, we got converts too (celica change to 8) but last i checked I dont think i heard of any 8 drivers downgrade leh.

Hmmm, interesting.... but i must say Coupe's idea of other cars cannot be so frank though... Very frequently u need to remind yourself to be more politically correct in your judgement or view on other cars....

All i can say is .................................................. .................. GP siboh!? Lai la!

Neon ready to rock & roll ?

had saw a DC5 with suspension mod. & drop in air filter really pull away from a blitz SC mod SS1 or SS2(not sure) back in Jan2003, as my previous ride DC5 & now RX8 so just wonder whether it is possible for a SC or port & polish SS1/SS2 to pull away from a 6spd RX8 easily ? may be it can

Relax....

All the cars mentioned here are good.... no need to get so worked up bro. I have seen many nice ss2 with excellent body kits. We no need to prove who is faster, all equal, 2 door, 4 tires...

Why every challange must be speed, how come nobody challange whose car smell better, or whose boot is cleaner or who can car drive to genting and back on 1 tank. Why is it always speed speed speed. If you really want speed then buy a Ferrari or a lambo... one uncle say to me... my lambo 0 to 100, 4 sec,.... hell I take 4 sec to turn on my car. So I feel there is no point to discuss on speed, there are bigger fishes all laughing at us telling us don't talk rubbish. Sad but true.

What about racing in reverse gear. Who is faster ?? ah how about that ??

Peace dude...

haha, i totally agree why everything must challenge speed. if ur car is fast enough to go past ERP gantry without being detected, then i say ur car good. or maybe ur car can like those motorcycle, can squeeze past those carpark gantry without paying, then its the best.

Funny leh, how come 190bhp 7.2 secs car can chiet 200+bhp 6+ secs car?

I tink he either put turbo, or the 8 he mentioned dowan to race with him.. decided license not worth risking for a confirmed win..

Anyway, it is generally acknowledged that the rotary responds better to FI than most piston engines cos of it's simple construction, ie just add more fuel and air, and u get more power. The bladdy thing just spins faster lor! (Only have to pay attn to detonation -- that one must play with engine mgt).

But say here say there, i think both cars are damn chio. Better looking than evo n wrx. If cannot run as fast, at least look good lor..

PS: Of course the 8 is more chio! Everyone knows gays know more about style: http://www.drive.com.au/editorial/ar...x?id=5560&vf=1

PPS: i tink race reverse gear 8 will win, cos got higher rpm

PPPS: i'm not gay. please stop calling my hp.

If you compare the cars based on the track results, it depends on the driver who is driving it. As for me I dont rely too much on these information.

I enjoy driving my rx8.

Very very true... with my skill I can only drive 80-90km/hr around a certain bend in Sepang,,, but my instructor show me that the car is capable of doing 120-130 around the same bend with the same car but a more skillful driver.
