==== copied from bayareatuners.com ====
Another from RX7club. Good kill for the FD3S
RX7 vs RX8 <== EDIT: Fixed video link
Here are the times. That the guy said.
rx7 - 13.178 @ 108.64
rx8 - 16.638 @ 87.05 (i think he had the traction control on)
==== end ====

I'll host the vid on my domain later. I don't think it was an AT dmp, it had the typical high rev launch of an M/T. It did come close to the RX-7 up to the end of the line so I don't believe that 16 sec time posted.
hold on while I post the updated URL of this video...

I counted about 13 seconds from the time the RX8 left, until the time where he enters the traps. I'd say that was a mid 14 second run. - if that was the end of the course. Frankly, there's NO way that RX7 was THREE seconds in front of the RX8. Where did you find somebody claiming 16.6 for the 8?
LOTS of tire spin for the 8.

Found the thread - in the KILLS section.
Anywho..yeah...something is fishy.
you'd think with all those stickers on the door, and the MS wing, the RX8 woulda been in the 12s.

Stock 8 wasn't going to beat it anyway.... I think it's representative of most who would gun it, shave another 1.5 if you know what your doing... maybe another .7 if you launch really well..

Here's the thread I got it from http://www.bayareatuners.com/index.php?showtopic=1069
He said he got it from rx7club.com. I would guess the Kills section.

It's Good Friday. I'm feeling a little giving, so I'll spare you the reading--Someone there posted that the cameraman should have told the 'dipshit with the big head' in front of the camera to move out of the way. The guy who shot the video replied with something to the effect of, "That's my son, you dipshit." It kind of dragged on from there.
Woo hoo! Post #800!

Today, I passed an RX-7 as if it were standing still.
Of course, it was standing still -- sitting on the shoulder with a battery charger.
(I would have stopped to help, but someone else was already there.)
