What you said is very clear. I'm not trying to get in your **** about it. I just want you to be fair. If you think your car is VERY CAPABLE of running very low 13's, prove it. And if you can't prove it, stop giving other people **** about their 1/4 Mile times. Thats all I'm trying to say Ike.

Funny how most immediately discounted the 1/4 mile time. The only thing in your post that arched my eyebrow was the 27 mpg on the trip home

Good job dude!

Nah, there are plenty of others, but this is the only one I've seen that comes close to the mag times.

Wiining RX-8 at rotorfest 2005!

Not here to brag at all, I happen to win the drag event at rotorfest for RX-8's with a 15.33 1/4. My car is totally stock and just wondering what if anything you have done to your car? Thanks

Fraid you've been mistaken, i ran a 15.095@92.16 at rotorfest however thats with RB intake, exhaust, lighten flywheel and ms clutch, still half a second slower then my bone stock time.

Better lucky then good I guess.

Was it bracket racing? He very well could have won if that's the case.

By the way, was Rotorfest at the same track you ran your better time Polak?

I ran 2.06 sec 60ft times at the SCCA Pro Solo event in Toledo this past weekend, the other 8's were 1 - 2 tenths slower

That's pretty good for your average street tires, but I'm guessing that's on slicks...

DOT-R tires, better than most street tires, real racing slicks would be better still

the launch grip was decent, but not as good as some of the drag strips I've run where they goop the launch pad so I'd call it even steven myself

Well they tell me a 15.3 was the best, and I got a nice big trophy to prove it, anyway anything in the 14's sounds pretty decent for a street RX-8!

Polak, great times in your 8. I just bought mine, and not to race it, but it's nice to see stock 8's putting those types of times down. I already have a car for 1/4 miles , but wanted something sleek and sporty looking for daily driving and back and forth to work. Maybe one day I'll take it to the track to see what I can do, and hey, I'll even post a timeslip Again, congrats.
