You are correct. They came with the standard pushrod V8 from the LSX line up.

Hmm I wonder how many times the number 300 has been used for something of importance. You also have the Cutlass 300 the Olds 300

Well I think it really depends on if the 300 has 32" rims, 10 different subs and

100 speakers while bumping 50 cent. If that's the case i'm pretty sure you will

smoke him.

No,
Power to weight ratio is .079 for the rx8 and .084 for the 300c. The 300c would be a little bit faster with equal drivers. Maybe 2 car lengths faster in the quarter, although a race might be even from a roll. The rx8 can stay with cars it should'nt from a roll.

The rx8 has a slight advantage over the rsx-s in power to weight. The rsx-s would trail by 1 to 1/2 car lengths in the quarter. it would be a drivers race in most cases.

Speed is not all about power to weight, but also gearing and loss of power as it get's to the wheels (which the RX-8 has plenty of). There is no getting around it, the stock RX-8 is slow, and against similarly skilled drivers, it would lose to a type S.
