RX7 vs RX8 (video)
There is no sound but very intersting, I think.
Let's just enjoy the chase

Thank you Yuhki-san! That's an amazing video. The RX-8 looks like it is on rails (as a train) and VERY quick. No torque eh? He-he...
Also: so the RX-7 (turbo right?) can't keep up with the RX-8 that easily but the RX-8 is nailed to the rear of the RX-7. This is going to be fun... :D

I was thinking the same thing Lensman, but at the end when the track straightened out, the RX-7 took off. That's ok though, still loved the videos and the 8 will be plenty quick enough if that video is any indication of it's speed and agility.

True, but it didn't take off very far and when the RX-8 was in front it seemed to stay further in front on average. It could be down to the drivers of course.

What's the deal? My media player says it's playing, but all I see is a blank screen. Can someone offer me some tech support please, I really want to see this video.

good find!
i agree with all above, the RX-8 outhandled the RX-7 through every turn...when the RX-8 was in the back you see the RX-7 oversteering constantly and sliding through almost every turn, while the RX-8 took every single corner without any kind of drift...and yes, during the curvy sections, the RX-8 took a wider lead then when the 7 was in front...but the 7 did take off in the straightaway...
if it weren't for the 2 or 3 times that the 8 had to brake to avoid rear ending the RX-7, i think the 8 would have won tha race
