With FI or an engine swap. Otherwise...don't count on it.

Its not really an 8 anymore, but with enough money, you can do anything.

Stockwise be happy even you can hit low 15 or high 14. 13 would be impossible without FI, 12 I think is fantasy

20b = 12

You really need to learn some basics before you start doing major mods like FI and meth or water injection (not boost control :nono: ).

12s? Hope yur not talkin about stock...be lucky to get into mid 14s by dumpin the clutch @ 8K. As mentioned, anything can be done with the money...but if yur asking about right off the lot...don't hold yur breath. The car is sporty and quick to buzz around, but it's not exactly a muscle car.

And before I put on my flame-retardant suit, I own both an RX-8 and a Cobra...so I'm just talking from experience. I love them both for completely different reasons!
