I think they're high 14 low 15 second cars... I'd probably be able to hang with one in my R/T. (maybe even beat it with the mild mods im running)

Deffinatly not compatition for a 97 snake... Not really compatition for any snake 93 to 03.

someone already stuffed the cobra's engine into a focus, even took their tranny and rear suspension. costs 70k. but RWD, 400hp, 2800lb focus sounds pretty interesting.

The car doesn't suck, for what it is, it is a really good car. Just no compeition for a blown V8.


the rx8 is a weak little car. They need to dump the twins back on or something. Shit the car is clocking 14.6 at most strips

RX8 isn't "weak". There's nothing wrong with 250, wait, 247, no wait, 238hp, though people have been dynoing the car at 190. Apparently, the ECU goes crazy on the dyno and doesn't put out the numbers it's suppose to. The engine alone has been dyno'ed and makes the advertised 250hp but I guess they had problems with emissions at the ports prior to delivery.

Maybe it's me and driving around with 120hp, but 238 from the 8, or 270 from the 350z seems like plenty of power for spirited daily driving.

i wish i'd saved my money and got a used lightning, whatever, i'm only a couple of years away from smoking my friends :)
