repost ..
but i think that driver of the 8 was kinda lame.. you see him trying to down shift in the middel of turns and after he gets passed. its almost like he did not trust the car.

 

Some troll posted that video a long time ago, and we gave him the flaming of a lifetime. I think it was his only post, just to be ignorant and tick us off.

 

sorry about the repost. Where can I find the orginal thread?

 

To me it looked like the guy just gave up after the second pass. I don't think he took advantage of working the curves.

 

eh...iono if yu guys seen the other video. where they were racing those cars but a few cars that are different (faster) with a mazdaspeed rx8 a-spec. in that race, the rx8 owned like taking candy from a baby. for some reason, the stock 8 is sadly slow....but yeah the mazdaspeed version OWNED

 

Yeah, in the revenge battle the MS A-spec RX-8 won and beat the S2000, which had won in the debut battle. This video is very very old, and came out in Japan when the 8 was first introduced. (The RX-8 haters love to dig it out.) I think the driver wasn't used to the character of the 8 yet in the debut battle, but in the revenge battle the RX-8 was driven better. The MS A-spec does have a better suspension than the stock one, but the hp is virtually the same.

 

Hey anyone know where I can find the revenge battle?

 

You can view the revenge battle at Taka's site: http://www.step-hen.com/e_rx8clips.htm#race
