Can anyone confirm all the mods for the Japanese A-spec RX-8? These clips definitely do not show a stock RX-8. I'm quite certain the A-spec has Mazdaspeed-tuned suspension among others.

Great video - really shows a nice 3rd gear pull for both. clearly the s2000 pulls harder even at higher speeds - so either the guy i saw didn't floor it for some reason, of we underestimated the 150 - 200 lbs mark. musta been a couple of hefties in there...

From a dig, the RX-8 cannot keep up with most. However, at highway speeds, before my turbo 
, I could keep up with a 350Z 6spd which was real surprising to both the Z guy and me.

maybe the Z guy was not racing with you...
