There's already a thread on this car:

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/1427rwhp-rx-8-a-225133/

Definitely impressive... I'm surprised a 13B was able to run a time so close to the 20B car.

Dare I mention a certain curse that would surely slow that car down?

I don't know why everybody's excited... 0-60 in 6.51 isn't that fast.

He probably needs new coils and plugs.

Maybe they still have the ash tray.....
