Well I thought people would use common sense. Of course only an idiot would think my car would beat a corvette or viper around a track. I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but I'm no idiot.

fyi, stock RX-8 may loose, but boost that sucker with only 9-11 psi. and you won't even see a lude in the rear mirror.

Stop posting? You realize it was the Euro R Prelude right? The Type S with the 220 HP engine in it? You guys really need to drive a prelude. And I am talking about in this video I saw! I dont care what you guys say I saw the prelude ahead for a good amount for being such an old heavy car.

It beats the s2000 at nothing. I know what video you are talking about and that S2k also had engine problems in a different video. BEST MOTORING IS NOT THE BIBLE, please don't refer to it as a credible source. It's for entertainment only.
So the heavy type S with the 220 hp engine somehow is beating up on a perfectly running 250ps lightweight FR s2000? Dude, just think about what you are saying. You are just making yourself look even more stupid.

You're right this thread is stupid now. It all depends on which forum I am on. Of course this is RX8 so no one will let anything go wrong with them.

No the problem is you are posting retarded information. Especially your nonsense about a prelude being able to beat an s2000 at anything, which I'm glad you just let go because you realized just how stupid of a statement that is.
The prelude can be "fast". A geo metro can also be "fast". At the end of the day, neither one is close to a sports car. /End.

Nothing I posted was stupid information. I KNOW the S2000 is a better all around car. I never said it wasnt. I said I saw a video where the Type S prelude was taking the S2000. I meant that as the prelude can still hold its own against the new sports cars. And you beat a civic? Cool I guess. I'd hope you'd beat a civic.
My 2003 suburban would beat them up until 70 when aerodynamics played a bigger role!
im not a fan of fwd sport cars they just dont feel right.. i drove a fwd car before and.. after i went rwd i would never considerr going back.. but some fwd cars are pretty quick just not for my tastes.. that is if track is what your into..
maybe one day ill say the same about rwd if i ever get a AWD car
I really wouldnt mind getting the new evo they are SWEEET!

Launch RWD is better..
Add exhaust and headers and intake and you would have seen its tail lights SERIOUSLY!
Im hoping after i get my mazsport midpipe.. I can take his SI its quick little bugger!
lets face it mods for the rx8 just dont do anything for it lol...
i have
-MSP CAI
-9lb flywheel 50% stronger clutch
-all fluids are redline 75-90
-royal purple 5w30
-greddy cat back eshaust
-sr power pulleys
-ignition solution
-cobb ap
-and soon to come mazsport midpipe...
to just beat a 2006 civic si with
-catback exhaust
-headers
-cat delete
-bootlegged intake with just the filter cone
but like said before its not alla bout a straight line actually im kinda getting into more luxury i wouldnt not mind a audi s4

Shouldn't you try a short-shift if you are trying to beat it in a straight line? Well known that exhaust and intake does little for the RX-8. Mazsport ignition only seems to make up for some hp lost in the original ignition solution.
If it's about beating other cars, go for turbo or supercharger. If it's about listening to sweet wankel, get exhaust parts
