I think he was refering to the point where the RSX pulls 2 full cars ahead, not the final race time.

Funny thing is, the difference between the 2 cars is .3 seconds. Now more than double how badly the Z got "violated" and there you have what the average stock for stock race between a Z and an RX-8 would be. In fact a stock RSX is closer in straightline performance to the RX-8 than the Z is.

The problem with this forum is most of the people here never had a rotary before and dont understand it. Its hard to say a "mean" thing about the 8 once you have driven it.

13.9 sounds like Hondata and aem cai and decent driver. Not many dollars there.
The RSX is not an econobox. Hell i guess it is if you paid 35k out the door like me. But we are an econobox to some other cars too id suppose.
RSX will have a huge weight advantage on the Z as will we and every bit helps tons.
I think the Z is a great car and it does get bashed prolly because right "now" its at the top of the heap power wise besides the turbo boxes. We will get the same heat after our R&D is complete and people find how to make very applicable power.
I may not like many aspects of the Z but i sure do respect it.
