Can someone confirm?

A friend of mine was at the races in Dallas this weekend and said he saw a yellow RX8 run a 12.3 at 111 with exhaust and a 75 shot of nitrous. He believes the RX8 was from RX7.com.

Yep, It was Chris from RX7.com :D

Talked to him on Friday about logistics of coming out to SevenStock, and we got on the topic of his 8... he mentioned he raced a G35 when his was stock, and it was nose to nose... after he put on the NOS, it wasn't even a contest.

His first run in the 8, stock, without NOS was something like a 14.3. (please note, anyone else that gets 15's in an 8 is a slow driver... period.)

Look for some goodies from their store in a few months@

if he says he got 14.2 the first time out stock he lies,peroid.i wont call myself a pro dragracer but am very consitant in my 9 sec camaro.you can call me slow,i dont mind, but there is no way this car would run that time on stock tires,i may beleave a low 14 sec on some drag radials but on stock tires i would have to see to beleave.bern,i hope you prove me wrong and i just havent learned the launch tech and 6sp for this car yet but mine with stock tires is a consitant 15.2. imo you may get that 1 sec in the first 330 ft with traction.
