GTChannel drives another turbo'd RX-8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nQXVIsVq7w#t=14m00s
(RX8 @ 14m00s)

GTChannel has a whole rotary series, and I just found this short bit. It looks like it was sponsored by Vivid Racing as well.

Enjoy.

nice video. I'm surprised the rx8 wasn't at least a liiiitle bit faster than that, as heavily modded as it was. Seems like it has the lowest amount of hp, 280 with the turbo, but even so.... I'm *not* surprised that he said it was a lot of fun to drive

He didnt have 1 negitive thing to say about the Rx8. And that came from a Pro D1 driver. His comments def made me happy.

They have a series for the rx8. They go from bone stock, to tuned, then turbo'd, then a 13b-rew swap. I'm at work and can't get out to youtube....but it is within the GTChannel's channel in youtube.

Great video. Just proves the rx8 is engineering marvel right out of the box. With a few mods and a bolt on turbo nothing else compares. He loved the car, and praised everything about it.
