Boost.

An RX8 isn't much of a dragster. I believe they run a mid to high 14 second quarter mile time and that is driving the piss out of one. So you shouldn't have anything too worry about with a couple small mods. Just don't try and challenge him in the twisties, he will run off and leave you then.

Driver mod. U should take him stock vs stock as long as u get traction.

BadBlackGT · July 30th, 2011, 04:04 PM

Yeah, i've driven a friends. Its not fast at all. You should have him hands down as long as you don't break loose too bad. Just get used to the car and to make this tech related, try getting a programmer it will really wake up the car, especially if you are an auto.

i had one try and get me on the light a couple of weeks ago. i pulled on him and then let off in third, about a half a car length ahead. i wasnt impressed.

john98 · July 30th, 2011, 06:28 PM

Yeah you should be able to run him no prob as it sits, like they said its driver mod at this point

Speedstang302 · July 30th, 2011, 08:13 PM

A friend mines friends older brother (yeah i know confusing lol) had an rx8 around the time I bought mine and always said he would kill my car. Took it out on the highway and from a 30 roll I walked him. (middle of the night) from a stop second race he walked me cuz I roasted off 1st and spun bad in second. Third try I kept her under better control and only spun 30/40ft in first and took him by 3/4 cars...car had a pro 5.0, bassani catted x and flowmaster catback and bald tires. With better tires I could have taken him from any start. They arent fast at all.

philly101 · July 30th, 2011, 09:19 PM

this is true seen it at the track and you can see some youtube vids of it. most cases low 15's their more shitty drivers than good ones.
