Power!!
I'd like to have 250-300 rwhp and 200-250 ftlbs of torque. Something that will get me deep in the 5 second range for 0-60 times but don't have to worry about anything breaking or having to futz with it.

All we have to do is be patient. Just think of all of the new turbos/superchargers in production right now. With a good overall setup and well tuned machine, an rx8 should be able to take an evo/sti in a drag/track/street setup.
Don't Give up up on the renesis, 400hp is just a matter of time.

I really think taking one of those cars in the 1/4 is going to be very tough. You should thrash it on a road course at or below those power numbers though.

I know I'm gonna get my butt chewed for this but I'm gonna be greedy and say 500rwhp and screw reliability. I want a flame belching monster. If it's not an every day driver I'll buy another car...a little crx or something..and if someone says something I'll drive home and get the 8 and watch their faces when...my engine detonates...oh well
