Git-er-done, man! They're only heavy cars with auto boxes. just make sure you're feelin' it though,-u feelin' good, your car feelin' good-and just rev it enough to avoid any wheel hop..Oh yeah,...just drive like you've done this before. Fire 'em up!

I can't say what good it does to know this but I've beaten a 300 of unknown trim with my Grand Am. But then again it was a short distance race on a small track so who knows what'll happen. Dunno til ya try.

I don't think it takes much skill to drag an automatic 300C and the RX-8 is not that easy for a novice to launch correctly.
I'd save the effort.

I've got one of those 300's in addition to my shinka....include a few turns in the race and you'll wax him. The 300 in just a fast land barge. Big soft mushy car. Just throw 1 curve in there and you have him.

you'll loose.
it's hard to gauge whether the question was an informed one. it seems pretty obvious to me.
even in a one mile race with one u-turn at the half point, you'll loose.
my int-x + greddy turbo can barely walk away from those big trucks with 'daytona' sticker on the side. there's no way you'll beat it with the stock renesis.
as far as the regular non-hemi, you'll be ok (i think). but with hemi, my money's not on the rx8. take it to an autox, and that'll be a diff. story... but i take it that's not what you're asking
