I'd say you'd be able to run circles around their bicycles.
If one or two of them happen to have a car, you should be able to beat their 91 Civic HX as long as it's stock.

Great .... this will turn into an "I had to get my engine replaced!" thread in a year or so !!!!
As for "racing" SCCA solo racing will only put you up against similar cars ... you don't need to worry about being faster than a vette. - It's much more about smooth driving skills ... not " fast cars"
Racing on public roads will only get you license provoked , or wreck your car ... or worse.

I'm guessing you're talking about street drag races. You've got the world's worst car for it, and this is not the place to post or talk about it.
If you're talking legitimate sanctioned competition on either Solo I, Solo II or road courses, the RX-8 is quite competitive, but the last I checked, the SCCA did not recognize "crews" yo yo homeeee!

If I had to guess, I'd say that beyond "rollin' with his crew," it would be a fair to assume that he is "thuggin' it" as well. He may also be "grillin'" if he's makin' money.
Good luck at the street races! They're going to laugh at you.

Shock and Awe
Perhaps he is just misunderstood. I will supply him witha link to the RX8 competition racing portion of the forum, in chance that he means autocross...

with my mods I can tell you what I keep up with...
Since I've had all my things done too my car I can keep up with one of those new Mustang GT's... Automatic or manual? I have no idea, I'm thinking it was an auto because I find hard too believe that I can keep up with those things..
Mazdaspeed 3's will eat you up, and the 3 owners will be smiling when it happens...

don't listen to these guys, your car can beat anything besides exotic cars. just don't forget to wake up after you win
if you auto-x, you'd be surprised how 'fast' your 8 really is.
straight aways are bullshit anyways. test the driver, not the car.
