The Dyno figures from ST Power is at the wheels right? How to dyno at the crank? remove the engine har? 210 BHP from Madza figure is engine output, so after losses in the transmission and other stuff should be around 160bhp at wheels wat. So itz correct.

are u here to condemn RX8, if u r, pls get lost. the community no need pple like u.

No one buys the rx8 for straight line speed or tremendous horsepower. U wan 400hp beast, get the wrx and evos.

Letting many cars eat on the road, most of the time, its the driver, dun blame the car.

For someone who can't tell the difference between crank hp and wheel hp, you sure have lots to comment on. Sure go get yourself a more powerful car and see if you can outrun the speed trap in SG.

everybody has different taste...
each car has its own plus and minus.
there's no need to get angry over anything from anyone else's comments...

RX8 is a great car like many others and each has its own unique features.

for those who drives this fantastic car, dun be bothered...

Weird, since when does power signifies anything in a vehicle?
If power was the only deciding issue in a vehicle, i might as well become an astronaut...

no la lennon dude... i just dun think its really necessary to compare cars like tis. the list can go on forever abt which car can beat which car and all tat... but its pointless isnt it? i will still give it a benefit of doubt tat mr hengheng is not here to stir trouble.

anyway, cars are toys... big boys toys... not material of attack on other people.

i think all cars are great in their own ways... every car was built to meet a certain purpose and market. learning to admire each of them for the purpose it was built is the real deal

agree with rei...

like i said, each car was built for its certain purpose. for every car made today, tmrw there will be a more powerful car... it goes on... instead of comparing, look at the achievment of wat these cars are built for... its great to learn wat each car has achieved and learning to appreciate it is a given talent also...

cheers to all those who appreciate nice toys...

Guys, please don't be too blinded by the controversial statement made by hengheng. Be more objective and thank him for the discovery, if it's true. Why don't you guys try to find out whether what he claimed is true before airing your frustrations.

In any case his comment may be flawed as the RX8 that underwent dyno-tuning may be out of tune or poorly maintained. The dynamometer could be wrongly calibrated as some operators assume an ambient condition, that is seldom monitored by most workshop (I've yet to know of a professional shop who does that apart from Ruf workshop in Tuas).

I remember some years ago the Mitsubishi Lancer MR was found to have its engine power grossly overstated. So it's possible that the same may apply to your beloved RX8. If so, you guys may instead of venting your angers cool down and group together to find a recourse (not discounting through legal channel).

I know you guys love your rides for its unique design and you guys are absolutely right. Still it's good to know the truth. One thing for sure, I intend to buy a RX8 and my reason for choosing it is not for its power. So, I think guys like hengheng, who thinks just of power are not qualified to own RX's, immho. It's heng that he will not buy one....
