lets face it people the rx-8 is not a straight line car it can't beat a GT mustang, 350z, G35 or a STI on a straight away, This car is made for handling corners its a pure track car.

Good job Polak !!
So more people will believe we can run mid 14s easily with stock 8's...
BTW, I did 14.47, but with a 2.05 60'... Best ever was 2.03... But it still feels kinda slow compared with the 1.75 i hit with the neon.
Then again, my 8 is more useful to get my chick to the movies than to drag race... I prefer to drag race with cars that the garanty is expired...

damn man you launch high i figure around 5000 4500 is good i launched a turn once to drift about 6500 7000 (wasnt looking at rpm but thats what i reved it too) and the car went nuts on the kick back ended on a lawn luckily no damage except for having one angry home owner. In conclusion just way too much power in the launch

The RX-8 has power period! With only a 1.3 liter and can run a 14.2(Excellent driver) stock, thats amazing. I was driving yesterday with my gf in the car and I decided to redline first gear and shift, with the DSC off, the car did not only chirp but peeled out for a good 20 ft.(NO BS) I had my 1998 Honda Prelude basically stock and I ran a 15.1 and I thought that was amazing. So to run a low to mid 14 with such a small engine is such a good feeling. I take anyone's word, unless they are bullshitting me telling me that they have a 1994 Honda civic hatchback with no turbo or supercharger running low 13's, with complete interior.<----NOw thats pure bullshit.!

Thats what i find surprising. All these people that bash the 8 and say its slow compare it to turbocharged cars. Its just a little ol 1.3 liter. You would think people would say damn thats amazing. Not even turbocharged like mine and still just a little behind me. Oh and it looks better also

Most people can't even run the mag times, what's this talk of a 14.2. It's also more like a 2.6L if you compare it to a piston engine and eats gas like mad, I like the RX-8 but I find the engine in the S2K even more remarkable...

if you managed to pull out ~300hp from your engine, then you're right.

You and I both know you own a car but never proven that you can run the times you say you can. I'm just saying and I think most agree with me, that you should prove all that mouth that you have about your car.

I'm not talking about the 8, I'm talking about his WRX and him saying his car runs very low 13's. I wanna see a dyno test, 1/4 timeslip. Is that so hard? He's saying he can, then show it. He gives everyone else on this Forum problems when they say their runs low 14's. He gives them **** and now I'm giving him ****. He shouldn't bitch at them if he's doing the same exact thing. Saying his car can do something and not proving it.
I've read a lot of post from Ike and its seems he know what he's talking about but he doesn't believe anyone when they run good times in the 8 unless they have a timeslip. So I want to see one with his WRX running in the low 13's. That's all I'm trying to get at.

Once again its the same damn thing to me, saying my car is capable of running low 13's. Every car can be can capable of running 13's with the right mods. Don't let his sly words fool you. He is basically saying his car CAN run low 13's and all I wanted was prove of such allegations coming from his mouth. All of us can say our cars can do things, just back it up. Or least that's how Ike likes it. Right Ike?
