rx8 vs 300c hemi

which would win in a 1 mile drag race? the 300c is just the 5.7 hemi, not the srt8. the rx8 is the mt, and the 300c is automatic. my friend keeps talkin smack about his dad's car sayin he can beat my rx8 so im just wonderin if i should take him up on his challenge or if i will get beat.

thanks.

It's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race your car.

I'm no expert by any means here but I'd say in a full mile it'll come down to raw HP and weight. 3,766 curb weight w/340 HP and 390 ft lb vs say 238 HP and 160 ft lbs at 3,045 lbs? You might lose but you might beat him in the quarter at least. Course if it were just the 3.5 you'd smoke him in a heartbeat.

The rx8 would win in the mile run because the 300c is speed governed.

I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free.

Don't know if you will win that race. I had to wring the crap out of my 8 today to stay close to a Nissan Maxima!
