he responds : "no,,, built engine, tranny, borla exhaust and some other ****,,,,,,, 320WHP, i beat a few zo6's"


so i say ****, i wanna get eaten, this is soundin pretty serious

we leave the light and my friend in the passengers seat said "i didn hear em, what does he have done"

i respond "he said he has a built engine, tranny and he wants to get eaten by a cobalt"

we leave, both 2nd gear, hes not shifting, maybe he wants to try me

i yell over,"yo! hit it lets go!!" (rx8 floored) gets a fender ahead, i floor it,,, fender ahead quicly leads to me a fender ahead, then a door ahead, then a car ahead, ran em from about 40 to 80 twice and same results,,,, violently pulled both times

I wonder if these z06s even knew he was racing them.

Shibito

They had a red left turn light when his lane went green.

Newf_ss

such over priced cars. even on the site they start at 40k (canadian site) knows a guy who is paying just over 800 a month for one

it's the tune bro

06SS ALL DAY

rx8's own on circuit's, straight line def not unless boosted. otherwise its a turd.

Spoony

For a car that costs this much new (I'm canadian as well) they don't hold resale worth a damn either.

Shibito

Definitely not, I saw one going for $8k last year with just 50k miles.

RyRidesMotox

LOL yea for sure I want to see one boosted though... that might be a fun race.

omg, i drive a cobalt too bro.

09BlueBaltSS

Didnt think 320whp n/a was possible out of those. Maybe he meant 230whp and the Z06 he beat was on GT5?

Grishbok

320whp no way, the rx8 uses the latest rotary engine which may be able to produce that at the crank, but definitely not at the wheels.

doesnt the rx8 come turbo'd from the factory?

iTrader: (1)

no turbo for the rx8 factory .

JacBlackSS/TC

omg dude was ******* lying, first of all its no way he was making 320 to the wheel with no forced induction and there is no just thing as building up a rotary engine especially a renesis

but yeah they lost their value hard, i got a 04 touring with 25k miles for $11k almost a year ago

09BlueBaltSS

Bolt on turbo kits only give them like 40 hp anyway. I like how they look hooked up but Mazda dropped the ball performance wise

they are the fastest looking, slow cars lol

m0ore4ustin391

RX8's are slow (in a straight line) unless they are turboed and even then not so much, good kill!

HHRSSouth

No kidding!

I always wonder why Mazda went from making a twin turbo RX7 (looked pretty bad ass to me), to an RX8 platform that sucks performance wise.

094doorSS/TC

Mazda stoped making the rx-7 because they where not selling, after the 3rd gen Mazda said it would never make a sports car that cost over 30k for the usd maket again.

BlueTurbo

Prices go so low because buying a used RX-8 is about the scariest thing I can think about doing with money.

you must have raced this guy:
