So I heard a Honda City beat an Rx8?

One of the other boards I frequent (and would never recommend to anyone due to all the rampant **** talking ) had a post about a Honda City beating the R-Magic 8 around the track at Tsukuba, anyone have any info on this? Guy goes on and on about how much an 8 sucks and blah blah blah, I'm interested in whether or not this was true, and if it is what were the circumstances. I've heard the City Turbo 2 can be a mean sleeper, but this dude was implying it was a stock city etc etc. and this is the first I've heard of it. anyone have any info.? I did all the obligatory searching, maybe I'm missing something?

blurb--- "The two stars of the show were the Civic Dominator and the Fit Spec-D "concepts" both located in the Mugen booth. The famed Honda tuning house executed similar battle plans on both vehicles, adding body enhancements, brake upgrades and twin-screw superchargers. Top Fuel had a turbocharged Fit in its booth along with a turbo S2K"

At 109hp the US Fit will never see the 8 in it's rearview mirror.

i think the fit is a different car than the city, cuz the fit is still called fit in japan. the city is a food door sedan with less than 100 hp i think but i forget and it is not available in the U.S.

Not to change the subject, but for some weird reason I really like the Honda Fit! (And yeah, it's the Honda Jazz in other countries.)

The Honda fit in Thailand is the Honda Jazz and the city looks like the civic. They are two diffrent cars. When I was in Thailand I took a picture of my cuz. Motor because it made me laugh.

the city is a 4 door sedan, slightly smaller than the civic and is sold in south east asia and india. as far as I know the only thing the city has in common with the fit is the engine.
