Now i've got a friend thats lives just up the street from me and he's one of those kids that gets everything from their parents for free. So, he has an S2000 and he thinks he is the sh**. He doesn't know that i'm getting the RX-8 and I wanna pull up next to him and race.

now i now he's got some pretty similar stats on the S2000 that can compare to the RX-8.

Am I gonna win this race or not. does anyone know what the S2000 times are; like 1/4 mile, 0-60, ect...

I was lucky to get a Tonka truck when I was a kid...RX-8: LUXURY! and you try and tell the kids of today that and they WON'T believe you!

I didn't even get a measley Tonka! No kidding. I still whine to my mom about being deprived as child. I guess she feels guilty because she made me an Easter basket this year. I'm 36 years old.:D

FYI, the RX-8 and S2000 are so well matched that it'd nearly be a dead heat: 100% down to driver... if either one of you pull out a basic performance mod, it still wouldn't matter that much, that's just how close they are...

but, you'd win the pissing contest: the RENESIS bests the F20C in almost every metric (power, torque, fuel consuption, dimensional size, mass, redline speed, everything)... search on it, and you'll see.

sorry if i used bad grammer in the thread i posted up but thanks for the confident boost of info wakeech.

given a the same professional driver in both cars, the s2000 would win... according to s2ki ppl it's done low 5.x's 0-60 in perfect conditions on stock motors, but that doesn't sound outrageous given the motor is similar to the renesis in a car that is 500 lbs lighter.

...but if they're racing at speed, the RX-8 has more torque at all rpm, and a lower Cd ( only if the S2000 guy is racing top-down, but then by a WHOLE LOT :D) then the S2k... i still say it's a driver's race... besides, driver and fuel mass differential could easily make up for that vehicle mass difference.. and the mass difference is 200lbs (2800 to 3000), not 500...

Is this thread a cheese shop? No?! Well that's that sketch b*ggered then...

Remember, your buddy has had the pleasure of getting comfortable with his S2000, so you may want to wait until 1) Proper Break-In is completed, and 2) You get totally familar with your RX-8.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you meant racing at the 1/4 mile strip.

Unfortunately I think you are talking about street racing.. if that's the case I hope you somehow become physically impaired and unable to drive any car ever again for the rest of your life. Harsh I know but better that's it's you than innocent people getting injured by your dumb actions.

'ot gravel you say? SHEER LUXURY!
