I did some acceleration estimates for different weights for the AUTOMATIC rx-8 using the US spec gearing ratios. This may give some idea of how the final weight will affect acceleration times.
SPECS:
hp: ............... 208 @ 7200
torque: ........... 164 @ 5000
redline: .......... 8000 rpm
wheels: ........... 225/45R18
driver weight: .... 165 lbs
fuel weight: ...... 30 lbs
drag coeff: ....... .30
Air temp: ......... 65 degrees F
curb weight:........ 2950 lbs :
0-60: ........... 7.02 seconds
1/4: ............. 15.19 @ 92.45 MPH
curb weight:........ 3000 lbs :
0-60: ........... 7.09 seconds
1/4: ............. 15.24 @ 92.16 MPH
curb weight:........ 3050 lbs :
0-60: ........... 7.17 seconds
1/4: ............. 15.31 @ 91.90 MPH

What a fantastic thread... thanks all, especially buger.
How does the shift / drivetrain action compare between the RX8 and the S2000? This is important in any NA car.
The 8 you can into any gear at any time with great rapidity - which means you can really use the revs. I didn't drive an S2000 when I was looking because I just didn't like the cockpit or driving position, and I think I remember playing with the clutch and shift with the ignition off and going "urgh". Lots of people who've sat in the driver's side of my yellow fellow make remarks like "wow, you could really chuck this around".
