Im sure the RX8 could keep up in one way or the other, perhaps in a ingress & egress competition.

Another moron bites the dust.

Without the Turbo, 13B-REW is nothing but garbage.

U cant even Search for answers ?
U cant even delete your own post ?

U failed @ life, U dont deserve a car.

Get lost.

I've only been in the automotive community a few years but I seem to run into two types of people.

People who want to build their car for a certain level of performance (autocross, drag race, road course etc etc).

People who want to build a dyno queen.

Now, which one of those two do you think concerns themselves with how much HP an RX8 can make? Sorry but WHP is only part of the package.

people don't realize that there is a huge difference between streetable hp and dyno queen horse power.

On pump gas with the renesis, I think we're going to be seeing somewhere just below 380 whp. It's hard to go much further without risking detonation.

If you have 110 octane and spray meth and have ice and giant fans blowing on your intercooler while doing a dyno in the middle of winter, your horse power can be as high as you dare go. But making 600 whp outside of that on a sunny day with 93 octane gas is unlikely.

^Now that's funny!

The RX-8 may not be able to keep up with the FD initially. Fortunately it's never long before an FD breaks down which will give the RX-8 plenty of time to catch back up and pass it!
