the auto one is detuned and doesnt redline at 9k because the torque converter cant handle the extra rpms, anyway, uh, nice kill

Don't worry about wasting gas, they get WAAAY worse mileage than us, so you're wasting more of theirs than yours, hahaha.

Yeah, the older autos don't have the tertiary port that allows the RX8 to keep making decent power past 7200RPM. Considering the auto doesn't even go past 7000, it's missing 2000rpm of peak power.

But, drag racing an S2000 is really silly... about the same as doing it in an RX8.

Drag racing an s2000 is about as silly as wanting to have fun, geez, why can't all of us grow up and not have fuN!

Fun is for losers and kids!
