you know what I find intresting is that the rx-8 was only 1 second slower than an m3
that mazdaspeed car with 40 hp more would be pure sex!

1:04 around Tsukuba is supercar territory and the RX-7 had a tough enough time beating its Japanese competitors.

mazdaspeed RX-8 1:08,70
BMW m3 1:08,28
very similar only 1/2 a second, but there may be a better time for the m3 that i just dont remenber about
actually I like the way they use to display lap times, each lap time was display at the end of the race that way you can juge what happen, and how good was the driver

your right , but thats how the ms8 used to come from the factory, but if we get into that the rx-8 also has racing suspencion and other things, but the m3 has a much better power to weight ratio
If mazda had any ***** the rx-8 would be on par with cars that cost much more, sometimes I get so **** of at them
, but then I go to my drive way, and love them for what they have made for me to enjoy

Nice vids, nothing surprising about them, so why the negative comments.
Vid one against M5/M3/350Z/S2000, yes the 8 lost but the S2000 was fully modded with 270hp, while the 8 had stock power. Still stayed within a sec. of the M3 and 350. Don't forget when Top Gear matched 8 times vs. a 350Z, the Z it was the original lower power non-"track" model. And did anyone really expect the 8 to beat a 500hp M5?
Vid two against a WRX/Civic R/IntegraR/etc. showed the other cars with specs not even available here. A 220hp 2600 pound civic? A 250hp WRX? Still, the 8 still had faster times than all but the R's.
