Last sentence = truth

 

I think we need a Woody version of the MS3.

 

LOL I would love to see that! With a roof rack and chrome door handles.

 

We not the MS3 with the roof rack at my house. Just not woody or chrome.

 

Do you have a black rx8 with cf mazdaspeed b-pillar trim and do you go to richland? If so, that was me. Lol.

 

Because 3 sisters is the best place to race someone.

 

Most definitely you...too bad you're in SA. At the very least, I'd just like to see your car.

 

Don't be jealous of my power and torque.

 

I probably could have made that one post but I'm on a fkn iPad. Are there any FI 8's in DFW?

 

We have a very nice drag strip here, you are welcome to come view my taillights anytime.

 

There use to be. Not sure if there are any more (in this group that is).

 

The difference is a Turbo 8 will be able to the power to the pavement, you can't. FYI, neither shady or myself is running a stock Greddy turbo on our setups. So based on the mods in your sig you wouldn't have a chance on the drag strip. You might be able to hang from a rolling start on a road course, until there is a curve at least.

I would probably be jealous of the torque but if you can't put it down it's useless. That is why I retired from owning high power FWD cars.

 

Would you venture a guess at my whp/wtq?

 

Hmmmm. 300ish WHP/350ish ft/lbs (maybe I'm being generous)? Depending on tuning and condition of the engine of course. Oh, and on pump gas with no meth.

 

I'd put him at 325 whp.

 

Meth is bad....MMMMMkay

 

You're spot on. With launch control and a boost limited 1st gear, it's not hard to get off the line. The stock diff is pretty good too. Haven't had a problem getting power down at MSR.

When I get my fuel pump and run e85, that might be a different story.

Do you have a build thread on your car?

 

262whp/284wtq is my guess

 

I haven't seen those numbers in over a year.

 

A 9k build thread...... Such lies do not exist lol

 

Yeah because going fast in a straight line is so thrilling

As my wife just said "any moron can mash a gas pedal and go fast in a straight line, it takes skill to handle a road course"

Dude I would put money down on my wife kicking your *** on a road course, you in your station wagon and her in her stock 8.

 

exciting

 

I have quite a bit of track time on a road course. I'm just saying that 3 Sisters is not the best place to race someone. Too many blind corners where the repercussions could be drastic.

I am envious of you SA guys living so close to the 3 Sisters though. I had a blast down there. I'd be going through tires like crazy.

 

awww...not so exciting now..

 

I was in the 3 sisters one night and it was EPIC
