nope, best time i read on this forum was 13.1 by adrian, and the ptp car could probably break into 12's with the perfect launch. a modena's doing high 12's easy.

NOT A GREDDY KIT!

I'm sure with a lot of research, and a substantial ammount of money (I"m thinking 20k) you might be able to make a custom setup that could run with one, but beating one would be difficult.

Even if you could hit the power mark necessary (~450-550 whp) you would have to swap a crapload of stuff to be able to support the power and deliver to the road.

At least - Modified Suspension Setup, Beefier Cluch, Flywheel, Maybe in driveshaft?, beefier Rear End, some wide sticky tires. <-That's just drivetrain parts, and you tranny will be not worth a whole lot after running that setup for an extended ammount of itme and drag racing. (I"m guessing)

My assumption above is based on the numbers I've seen other Rx-8's run w/ the Renesis. And at current prices for turbo parts, rx8 parts, and the appropriate ECU.

Don't stand that much of a chance. Perhaps a Carrerra, if it would make you feel better.

How about a Vette? I would go c5 Z06 w/ light mods,and you could probably get by on 35-40g total w/ car, and smoke a modena in a drag.

besides those are my favorite vette.

I think the Rx-8 forum should be a little more mature than others, so I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about the Rx-8.

Granted you at least search and come with some glimpse of effort.

Wow, I can't believe I didn't think of this first. I practically embody the movie Fast & Furious. Good work.
