repost ..
but i think that driver of the 8 was kinda lame.. you see him trying to down shift in the middel of turns and after he gets passed. its almost like he did not trust the car.

Yeah, in the revenge battle the MS A-spec RX-8 won and beat the S2000, which had won in the debut battle. This video is very very old, and came out in Japan when the 8 was first introduced. (The RX-8 haters love to dig it out.) I think the driver wasn't used to the character of the 8 yet in the debut battle, but in the revenge battle the RX-8 was driven better. The MS A-spec does have a better suspension than the stock one, but the hp is virtually the same.
