i heard about one rx8 that was waaay up there. 300+hp n/a. lapped the tsukuba circuit in less than one minute. something like that?

but for all intents and purposes. its not possible. the race rx8s in the koni challenge have 260whp i believe. highest n/a non professional race team is 225whp.

Yeah, like stated, 300 hp NA is a feat that my never be over come. The engine is pretty ingeniously designed to get the most hp possible right out of the box while still being reliable. 215-230 at the crank is pretty incredible for a little 1.3 L.

Long of the short your not gonna get any really incredible numbers being NA.

Kersh, sorry to say but there isn't an 8 in the Koni that is even close to those numbers. The RX8 is the most underpowered car in the ST class...most are seeing 220whp on a perfect day. If the ST 8 had the kind of power you speak of, we would all be unstoppable.

300whp is a pipe dream with our engines, engine swap FTW.

Next time try a little harder.
