my 87 T2 > rx8
 

Raced an rx8 on 290 east in Mass the other day. It looked pretty stock and apparently it was. He pulled up next to me in the middle lane and was checkin the car out. He started to signal me for a 3 honk and go type of thing so I nodded my head.

On the 3rd honk I dropped into 3rd and we stayed even for a millisecond or two :) After my turbo had fully spooled i took off, shifted into 4th and prolly went to 5 or 6 grand in 4th. I dont have a workin speedo but thats prolly around 115.

After I slowed down to get off the highway he gave me a thumbs up after he finally caught up.

I smile inside every time an rx-8 gets beaten. I can't believe mazda ruined that car like that. shoulda been a single turbo, 2 seat, 2 door. nice kill.

yeah, nice kill. I can't wait to get my own turbo '7!!!

good stuFF :D

yeah, the RX8 is awfully weak when it comes to putting down power (i hear), but what i'd like to see is a race, either on the track or a windy road... revving to 9 grand has it's advantages THERE, and i'd like to see how a turbo II stacks up against it's "younger, larger brother"...

Goof job.

are there any 13bt rx8's out there yet?

theres plenty of them, and some of the fastest are resting and racing in puerto rico
