whats needed to beat an rx-8?

lwhitetrash88l · March 10th, 2008, 02:12 AM

so what exactly has to be done to our v6 motors to take a stock rx-8

ESG-642T · March 10th, 2008, 03:28 AM

Your v6 motor...
A split port swap an bolt ons

graystang01 · March 10th, 2008, 09:14 AM

the rx-8s arent that fast...

GreenFaleen · March 10th, 2008, 09:18 AM

they are pigs, you'll need at least a split port and bolt ons you can take one

itschristorres8 · March 10th, 2008, 09:19 AM

psh i'd say a split port is a drivers race
those things are BALLZZZZZZZZ slow

+1

It just depends who gets the better jump..

and that's stock for stock.. although Nemisis is a cool name for a motor, it definately doesn't stay true to 93-99 RX-7s

+1 Wankle is a gay name for a motor yet it's a hardass, lol.

It's like they meant to do that.. "nemesis" = cool name/gay motor vs "wankle" = gay name/badass motor.

But anyways 320BHP on a 1.3L motor FTW. Oh and they weigh like 2,000lbs with the driver >.<

ok im sorry but i dont think so... new edge doesn't beat a rx8
i have a friend that had one (just traded it for a magnum)
and a friend i worked with had a 98 buick riviera (supercharged 3.8L 240hp)
his riviera beat my stang by about 2 lengths, and the rx8 beat him by 2 (i was in car with him).
rx8's also have 240hp

new edge 5 spd w/ dual exhaust, chip, andcai beats me by roughly 1 car and a half, and i do have a video i can put up if ne1 wants to talk.
the new edge had same shit as me (rims, exhaust, cai) only diff is he had a chip as well.
only reason i havent put it up is cuz my friends girlfriend was makin fun of me lol, she had my phone (has her record it) and was bein stupid talkin =\

but yea neway a rx8 would surely get a stock new edge by AT LEAST 2 lengths

the rx8 was a 2004 we raced btw

ur gonna need more than a split port swap,
i'd say at least u need split port swap and FULL boltons

you have a 98 mustang which is a single port as well a new edge would take you by about 3 lengths, the new edge will take a rx-8 they run a mid 15 1/4mile

lwhitetrash88l · March 10th, 2008, 10:25 AM
