Default me VS rx8

first off i have to give props, as this was one of the nicest kids ive run acrossed, latin, and not a ricer at all, he made zero excuses.
i saw him at a light, and his red rx8 was nice. wing and exhaust etc. well, he takes off and winds up the spinning triangles of death, and i easily went around him like he was parked. (i stopped racing rx8's long ago,now i remem why) well, we get to a light, and i figured he wanted to go, so revs up and off we went, see ya..
i was about 15+ cars ahead by 4th gear. so i just let off. he pulled up and gave tons of props, and told me his was basically stock. but that my car was damn fast. thanks dude. lates dave

Yeah I about walked away from a clean black RX8 about a month ago. He gave up after only 2 blocks, he must have realized there was no use in even trying.

they're slow in a straight line aspect, but have you seen them tearing up auto-x? They've been kicking ass and taking names in B-stock!

Good deal.
I've seen them on auto-x as well and they're not doing too bad.

the rx-8 suffers from lack of torque worse than the s2k, but, in b stock with good tires, those things are unstoppable! i've finished top 10 time of day and still be beaten by a nearly stock rx-8 by a huge margin.

next time you gotta play with him in the twisties

I keep on reading stories on how your S2000 is keeping up with M3's & beating all these other cars. What have you done to your car that has made it substantially faster ?
