Rx8 vs forte koup WTF
Last night after a meet me and my buddy where on the highway driving home I was in third he was in second we both punched it and he stayed the whole way with me in his forte until about 190km his car only has a cai my rx8 same only cai with a rebuilt engine replaced from mazda
|
Can someone explain tome how this is possible
|
a lot of cars can go fast, if you had to turn at high speeds he would not be following.
|
This is going to be an interesting thread...
as a side note / related *Slowly puts on flame suit ... zips up gently not to zip up on the sack of glory ....* Anyone else think the new kia lineup actually looks damn good for a kia??? *ducks* |
Why weren't you in 2nd gear?
|
Why are you posting about street racing?
Even better, why a forte? |
paul, i think the new kias look pretty good too. not to mention they started in the turbo game. op buy a mustang/camaro and dont post about street racing
|
the new kias do llook good as much as it hurts me to say it.
Tell your friend to go to the track. You will definitely eat his Kia. |
So, you got beat by a forte, feeling butt-hurt, and you make a thread about it??
Baaaahahahahahahahhahahaha :rofl: Side note: I don't mind the KOUP. Better than a civic, imo. |
Less weight, more torque, straight line... careful when you pick your battles, you just never know what a 4-cylinder is capable of these days. ;)

you should have started in 2nd gear also.
Andy thanks for ruining my appetite... |
At the end of the day it's still a Kia. I agree with Paimon though, some of the new Kia's don't look all that bad.
|
Ibtl!
|
How about that Turbocharged family sedan, Optima. I wish Mazda would bring back the Mazdaspeed 6.
|
next time deflate his tires.
|
start 2nd gear, powershift and you will win
also its highly dependent on how you carry all of this out. drag = driver |
Was just more of a pondering never lost to a forte i was just amazed they look good sound good have cool features must say if i am looking for a daily driver i might start there
|
Are you telling the truth...lol
|
Some of the KIAs arent bad looking, and the Koup isnt a bad looking car. The only thing I have against KIA is the people I know who have been injured (and one killed) because the onboard safety systems malfunctioned. (Broken seatbelt and no airbags when she flipped / No airbags during a head-on) I know Hyundai is their sister company, and I would buy a Hyundai for a DD before any Honda/Toyota/other boring company - But I couldn't buy a KIA, no matter how good they look.:dunno:
|
Stock for stock the RX-8 should have no problem pulling bus lengths on a highway run. Just saying.
|
Auto?
|
its standard but now 1000kms ago i got a new engine through the 100000/8 warrenty and since they have done that i have been recieveing a cel 0301 error it will be going back to the dealer on wednesday for them to have a look at it, as well my rear o2 sensor is gone but still i dont understand why i could not pull away he kept up and up and up
|
what rpm in third did you start at? You always have to remember the 8 is terrible downlow. If you're at anything less than 5k and you want to punch it, drop a gear. This car is about power up high, not down low.
That's to start, then, there's the driver. I can run a car almost a full second faster than another couple guys I know in the SAME EXACT CAR (not same model and make, etc, but they get out, i get in). edit: also, this car isn't a drag car anyway. its a corner carver. |
Never heard of a Koup before. Let's google it.
Hmm... Not terrible looking on the outside, but pretty boring... The interior is fugly! Average powertrain and stats... And since it's a Kia, refinement is nowhere in its vocabulary. Meh. |
