It's hard to compete against the high HP stuff but the under powered 8 will make you a better driver.

I wouldn't say he is a high HP car but his power and tq to weight is more favorable than me. Look, I am not making excuses. He beat me. I had a good season though and all is well.

He may have won --but he was beginning to wonder about that dang little silver with the heated seats rx8!
Sorta like the time I was trying to get around this prepared M3 that had a trailer hitch on the back of it. I dont know why --it just didnt seem right!
