[QUOTE="SLVRF16, post: 3652477, member: 29070"] Is this logic class? :read: My statement [b]could[/b] include a stock suspension'd RX8 but doesn't necessarily mean [b]always[/b] includes RX8s with stock suspension. ;-) Because I am going by my experience and a reasonable educated guess: 1) The Cobra is too heavy for it's torque (especially when modded). The RX8 is more linear in it's acceleration and therefore can yield more consistant speeds. 2) It would need a superior braking system to slow down after it's hauling ass down a track faster than anyone else - and it's braking system isn't any better than the RX8s. 3) Weight Distribution. The RX8 has a better weight distribution and it's lighter. My friend (with the Cobra) took me over 130mph in mere seconds, but then had to brake hard.. the weight went all over the place when the steering moved from side to side. Try going full throttle through a series of cones and see how much the rear end lags behind your steering inputs. 4) By a very good educated guess, I figured that the RX8 is superior in handling to the Cobra. You bashed the RX8 for trying to race you in a straight line. A bash worth mentioning and I give you all the respect for that because he shouldn't have even tried. However, to think that you could outmanuever it on a road course is REALLY disrespecting the car. It's like thinking that since you outlaunched some AWD car that you don't need to respect any AWD car. -M [/QUOTE]
