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

Now I know the 8 is a Charger killer ...

C/D TEST RESULTS CHRYSLER 300C HEMI
5.7 Liter HEMI V-8, 340 hp, 390 lb-ft; 5-sp auto with manumatic shifting
ACCELERATION, Seconds
Zero to 30 mph, 2.0
40 mph: 2.8
50 mph: 4.1
60 mph: 5.3
70 mph: 6.8
80 mph: 8.8
90 mph: 11.0
100 mph: 13.4
110 mph: 16.1
120 mph: 20.1
Standing 1/4-mile: 13.9 sec @ 102 mph
Don't race him, mostly for safety reasons, but also because in a mile race, that car is gonna pick up so much steam he'll pull you pretty good. All he has to do is hold down that gas pedal, and it's all over no matter how good you shift or launch. It's both dangerous and embarassing, so let it go.

You wouldn't have that problem if you had a V8.
Boys, all they care about is who's got the biggest engine...

And make sure the straights are very short. don't want that hemi to pick up too much speed between the turns.

well..in my opinnion..you could try and race but.. it really doesnt matter who wins in a race bc hes not proving anything if he wins..
#1. hes driving an automatic.
#2. its his daddys.
#3. He has no driving skills because - see reason #1, #2.
#4. his cars ugly, hes probably ugly. and because of those two small reasons, he gets no chicks. end of story.
you drive an 8. you get chicks. even if you're insanely ugly, you can still bag a nice chick because of your car. it doesnt mean she isnt a shallow chick, she probably is shallow bc shes just with you because you drive an 8.. but you can still get a girl if ur an ugly dude in ur car. simple everyday logic.
