Is the 8 really all that slow?

What's a stock RX8 trap, Brettus? About 95-96 mph?
terch doesn't have the slightest clue how much power it takes to pick up almost 10 mph of trapspeed.
I don't what's worse... terch1's lies, or that it took 3 pages to call him out.
13.7 for a bolt-on RX8.... LMMFAO terch. I admire the the "go big or go home" confidence to even make a claim like that, but you have to realize that when you post something that ridiculous, you better count on somebody like me trying to find that slip. You're not the first person to steal a slip, so don't feel too bad, but, wow, that's a rookie mistake copying it verbatim. Ouch.

Man........ I like you Terch. Clear this up.
I highly doubted but then you posted the results so quick........ Honestly the only reason I didn't call BS was because I have seen some weird times at the strip over the years and usually they just chalk it up to a glitch or an unexplained anomaly.
I actually googled the numbers as well as the trap speed seemed really high but nothing came up. I didn't wanna call BS because he says he has a timeslip. But the odds that those numbers are exact are very rare.
Terch, get that bad boy scanned in and posted up.

I highly doubt we will be hearing from terch anytime soon. How can the numbers add up? A T2 has different gearing, a 4.10 FD, RX8 has a 4.44, different rev limits, 200-300lbs between the two. Power levels might be close, but a 200whp T2 is going to have much more torque than the rx8.
I'm going to say it is impossible for every number in the timeslip to add up.

Yeah. The trap speed (and the E/T
) threw me off but I used to drag race weekly for 10 years and I have seen some weird runs and some weird slips. However, none of my slips ever matched perfectly.

What a nice forum. On any other forum, terch would have been crushed under a deluge of sarcastic ridicule, and there's still folks giving him a chance.
If the nice folks here are just trying to get terch1 to post, that's fine, but he has nothing to stand on. Zero.
The first problem is he says it was the first time he ever went to drag strip, and he's able to set a WORLD RECORD time for an NA RX8. I just love this quote:
I'll spell it out, just for future reference, people. Don't be so easily persuaded as to believe for one second that someone who has never raced at a drag strip can do something like that. It's utter and complete bullshit.
Has anybody ever seen a time slip from atco? They don't even measure the 594 ft time. How epically stupid can you be to post that?
Here's a slip from atco... see? No 594 ft time.
It doesn't matter if there's the stratospherically impossible, unimaginably statistically small chance he has the same times as a slip from 2003. A bolt-on RX8 with a first time driver did not, will not, and can not get a 13.7 in the quarter mile on any sanctioned drag racing track in the United States. It's NOT going to happen.
If terch1 wants to redeem himself by actually backing up what he says he did, I'd like to see it. Let me give him an idea of what it will take to see a 13.7 with bolt-on RX8
Practice at the track
Weight reduction
More practice at the track
Addtional tuning and mods
More practice at the track
Drag radials or slicks
More practice at the track
Refining the setup
More practice at the track
Time, money, working on the car's setup, swapping out parts, and practice. That's all it would take. He would have the opportunity to post a shitload of slips from failed attempts to give you an idea of how difficult it would be.
terch1, don't even THINK about posting some other atco slip with a 13.7 on it. I've studied as many of the slips as I can find on the RX8, and I'll know if it's an RX8 that did it. Trust me. If you post anything at all in the future, you better have video to back it up... plain and simple. You can't prove anything you've claimed.

not all tracks, yes the rx8 handles better than a 350z, but gets killed when not turning.

Yeah, and when compared to a 370Z of the same year it's worse.

Well obviously its going to be faster , it costs more , has more power .
Why dont we compare it to celica , mr2 etc?
And the 350z looks absolutely hideous without a bodykit

but people are saying the rx8 is faster around a track than a 350z. just because the rx8 handles better, doesn't mean its faster around a track. you need a mix of power and handling to get a fast rack time. not just handling.

terch1 said something silly on a car forum. I used a little Google-fu. That's all.
