It should do okay against some of the lightly modded "big boys". I didn't see the original poster mentioned equally modded... just against the "big boys". I mean come on a 3000lb car with 325 whp should by no means be a slouch!

I hear what you're saying. Just didn't want the OP to think you can slap a turbo kit on and be taking down other modded cars with ease. Yes, a 325 whp RX-8 would be a blast, but I just don't see that as making it a car with a lot of potential. Maybe I'm just jaded since I drive a car with more potential than I will ever be willing to reach.

Yeah, the 4G63 is pretty well scouted now as far as power adders! I'm just hoping that someone figures out a way to get the Renesis to that level!

Mazsport Turbo and suspension upgrades.

The best bang for your buck is HPDE courses.

How much stock HP do you think the Renesis could get if emissions weren't an issue?
