BMI: ms rx8 vs g35c/350z 25th anniversary and s2k.
 

Just watched the video ms rx8 did real well, clock in 108'71 at the time trials only a hundreth slower than the 350z and s2k.

The grid:

1. Rx8 shinka limited addition
2. Nissan skyline/g35c
3. MS rx8 version 2. (Running on potenzas, adjustable coilovers)
4. 350z 25th anniversary addition
5. S2000

Finished:

1. 350z
2. S2k
3. G35c
4. Rx8 shinka
5. Ms rx8

The ms rx8 should've been farther ahead but was slowed by the g35 during most of the corners. Should've easily placed amongst top 3 if it had a better start.

Interesting. Both the 8s should've done better.

Oh by the way, IZoomZoomI. I saw your car at ss8, it is lovely. :D

the old man always drives the shit out of the S2000. he's good...really good. i bet you if the old man (Gan San) drove the RX8, it would be in 2nd.

Don't mean to hijack or post any kills here but the last time I did something stupid on the streets (racing with a Z), our 8 is competitive enough.

Thanks! Too bad we didn't really meet, but there is always a next year (i hope).

The driver tshuya-san (sp?) of the mazdaspeed rx8 is the best suited driver for the rx8 (he clocked the fastest time ever in a rx8 at that track 1'08 and also defeated gan san in the s2000). I doub't gan-san can do much better.

Again the only reason the 8 didn't place as high was because he missed the 1-2 shift in the beginning and fell behind the slower cars (g35 and the shinka) which slowed its pace down by more than second a lap.
