If anything is worth a repost, an RX-8 that does 0-60 in an estimated 3.0s fits the bill. You say they were advertising? Any idea how much they want to mod an 8 to match?

I know Alamo Rotary does 20B conversions to 3rd Gens-- I remember SCC doing an article on a 3 -Rotor 3rd Gen and they said it seemingly instantly doubled the car next to it's speed.
