Can people NOT read what I type? Do certain words in my post get blocked or something? Has anyone actually seen the video that was posted and listened to the commentary afterwards?

Being the lowest powered entry by far and winning the trophy really says much about the FEED RX-8's handling. They also acknowledged that the RX-8 handles better than the 3rd gen RX-7. Something that diehard FD fans will never admit.

Oh man, have you guys watched the one when the Amuse S2k was crowned the Touge Monster, the view from it was freaking fast. Does anyone here know any resources or general guidelines on how to tune suspension to be that stable on such bad road undulation. How long can a car's chassis survive running on these roads? Sorry I'd to hijack

My theory is that the RX-8 has a lower limit of handling for its power.
ie: the RX-7 chassis can cope with 400+ hp whereas the 8 might not.

Good News: Another product for us owners
Bad News: N/A Tuning is not yielding much progress for RX-8. FEED was really keen on continuing tuning the 8 in N/A form.

the amuse s2k is a hardcore modded monster and the feed rx8 is a mildly modded machine. that touge race was no contest. also the feed rx8 didnt have the full exhaust yet, so it was probably under 200hp
