i thought that rx8s were fast wtf!?!
 

So I got my 79 yesterday (full rb exhaust, rejetted carb. 2nd gen plugs, and no rats nest) and my friend has had the worst disappointment to rotary powered vehicles since they were prototypes (fully riced rx8 complete with auto trans, fart can, body kit, rims, lambo doors, stickers for parts that the car will never see like NOS, and multicolor underbody led lights) but i saw him at the local bowling alley last night when i was leaving league practice and i talked to this scholarly character who told me that his rx went an 11.2 at 99 ( i worked at a dragstrip and i know that cant be so et vs speed ratio was all wrong) but i asked him to see what it had under the hood and he replied that he wouldnt pop his hood unless he lost so i said oh well and was about to dismiss this as just another stupid asshole until he started talking to his buddy in the passenger seat about how badly he would smoke my old piece of shit (which is the complete wrong way to address my car even if it is) so i started with my anti ricer trashtalk as well and before too long we had our streetrace set we were going to race from a dead stop on the natcher parkway so we drove across town the whole way my new ricer friend was running the PISS out of his car while i was effortlessly keeping up and laughing to myself about how i was gonna RAPE this kid by the time we got to the natcher it was about 1145 pm and it was deserted so we stopped lined up and the raping started i pulled on him by close to 5 cars and then i let off after .4 mi so with his new found knowledhe that my car was quicker we headed back towards town playing leapfrog at 80 to 90 in a 55 construction zone so i said screw this and slowed down because i had already proven my point to that douchebag and no sooner than i slowed to 55 i saw a ky stateboy with none other than mr. ricer pulled over not a mile down the road. the moral of the story is dont screw with the 1st gen in a 17sec rx8

So did I :)

Hey... I think the rx8's do ok :) especially on the corners.

Auto tranny is slow. I love defending my and other 8s but I have nothing to say about the autos. I do feel bad though that some punk bitch riced out an 8. From what you say it sounds BAD :Kill1:

The auto tranny equippted 8s come with like 180 hp....

The Seven can't lose!!

Well, considering the 04 and 05 engines were down 40 horsepower (197) with a 4 speed auto, that would make for a pretty slow car.

While digging up the HP figures on rx8club, I noticed you can get a 6AT for the 06 RX-8. Nice!

Disclaimer: I'm a MT guy, but it's good to see that Mazda is catering to the AT market.

i really respect that mazda has brought the rotary back but i think that all rotary owners should have to take an anti-ricer training course when they purchase their car

^ AGREE!


87 TII-No Cat, K&N, Custom 3" cat back, FCD, Jacobs wires
04 RX8-Custom intake.

My 8 beats my tII, but I love them both!!!!!!!!!!!

its nice when the 1st gen. guys beat new cars.

Great kill, rx-7 owns, even though i hate mine right now.

The auto has alot less RPM's to work with also. The big reason the auto engine is "detuned" is because an auto tranny cant spin past 7,000 rpms safely. SUCKY!

yeah I would have thought rx8's would be faster. nice kill btw

I've been wondering if there are any 8s out there with the Greddy turbo kit yet??? Somebody in that camp has got to step it up! Oh, good kill...thats funny raped him(in ky - lubed him up first?)

IMO all 8s are detuned from Mazda.

The autos only have 4 ports

There are more than a few 8s with turbos running around and have been for awhile now

8s are slow (sorry 8 owners) and the auto 8s are even worse.

I remember taking one, well not really but i knew he was trying to keep up cause after i left him, he was the first one out of the entire pack on the highway to be the closest to me. He was still FARRRR away from me though.

have you been living in a whole for the past 3 years? JK. Seems to me most the 8 people dont even act like im there, but i did put one snoby kid in his place.
And imo the greedy turbo kits arnt worth it they only ad like 90hp for like 6 grand... and they are still not that fast.

#1 on the list

your 8 also kicked my ass too, Oh do you have your midpipe yet

so do yall think i can take my friend, Whitney, in her 04 rx-8 auto?
i have a 88 tii vert....

fuck yeah man not only is it an auto but it is an auto being driven by a girl i beat an auto being driven by some vin diesel wannabe mofo with a n/a 1st gen so your t II should rock her world

no offense ladies but i have never been beat by a girl but i am always up for trying new things :bottom:

If you think you fb is fast you are a RETARD! Now I"m not saying Rx-8's are blisering fast, but honestly I've matched up against a few modded FC's and it wasn't even close, I left them like they weren't trying. So quit being stupid and bragging about your "fast" car that I can beat with my v6 truck!

yes it can.

man i never said that my fb is fast it just wasnt as slow as the rx8 was and i wouldnt have given a flying fuck if the kid driving it hadnt lied about has 1/4 times and as for your truck i really dont care i could probably eat it in my shitty dakota i just posted this to mabey bring a little light to someones day by relating a funny story of a ricer getting beat by a nearly stock 1979 rx7 in a new car that mommy and daddy bought him that he thought was the shit so why dont you just go drive your fucking v6 truck and stop pissing in my fucking cheerios. Ok?
i will step down off my soapbox now
:madfawk: :asshole: :madfawk:

Listen to yourself...you sound pretty confident to me. I like all gen. rx7, but all I'm saying is to be reasonable. I drive an Rx-8 and I know my place. I wouldn't go around saying Camaro's are so slow and only Renecks drive them, etc. just because I don't like them or just because I beat one once.

It's a lot like him bragging his car was fast when it was just riced out.
Im glad you take the time share but just don't be unreasonable.

You Thought Wrong!!!!
