Yeah... $70k entry fee... have fun with that.

Great... a $10k entry fee and you would still be completely outclassed in every way possible. I personally think you should just send me the money... I'll even send you a trophey saying that you won the NoTears 3000!

Look, if you simply want advice on how to upgrade your car, just say that, dont dump a bunch of BS into your posts. You can also start out by looking for info in the correct portion of the forum... https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/

Just ran some numbers through my head... (rough numbers)

20B swap w/twin TO4E turbo + accessories = $40-50k (probably a lot more if properly installed/tuned)
Used RX8 = $20k
Cannonball Entry Fee = $10k

That would make a pretty sweet down payment on this... http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/91...turesandspecs/

For real. If you have that kinda money, just get a Z06 and be done with it. That way, you'll be able to beat Ferraris and still have money left over for this:



Oh, and IBTL
