Yea,smaller engine or not, a turbo is gonna make lowend and midrange power......something the heavier RX-8 is sorely lacking,regardless of what the actual peak HP numbers really are.
In a straight line,I vote for the torquier,more tractable engine in the lighter chassis.
For a REAL race,its hard to beat the RX-8's easy to control handling....hell,even the Top Gear guys said it was one of the most aggresively driveable and fun handling cars they've tested.

i voted for the 7 because of the weight advantage. not to mention that as said earlier the turbo will give low and mid range power that the 8 is lacking. If you don't win you will at least be very close. as far as handling goes you would have to modify the **** out of your suspension to keep up in turns, but you said its a straight away so i would put money on the 7

Well--------- I can personally say that I spanked a RX-8 with my '94 318 BMW. From 40 mph, from 60 mph, heck he tried it at 80 mph, and all three times I out pulled the RX-8. I test drove one at a local Mazda dealer, and I can say that the turbo Miata is a heck of alot faster than the 8.
