Low HP high usage??
Is the RX8's HP under-rated at 238 ?? I downloaded the Top Gear Mazda RX-8 review (www.racingflix.com) and it has the same lap time as a 350Z and an M3 !?

If anything it's overrated, it handles very well but it's not going to match an M3 on a track very often if ever again. Keep in mind that those track times are from one lap and in different conditions on different days.

From what I have seen on dynos I would also say it is slightly over rated. The handling is defenitly what helped it keep up with the Z, and the BMW. The 8 takes corners wonerfully.
