Yes, But the 6 speed RX8 was rated @ 250 @ the crank, right?

The part that made the FD fast was the 200 plus lbs of torque it has..


Well let me say this...

The books rate my MP3 @ 110 hp @ the wheels, and claim a 16.5 ET..The MP3 weights 3100 lbs with me and some gas.

I drove the car bone stock and pulled a 16.04..stock...So am I a awesome driver, better than the magazines guys...I don't think so. If anything they are better @ getting the most out of a test car. So why was I able to pull a 16.04 stock? Thats 1/2 second faster than quoted in every article I can find..So what I am saying is.....The RX8 may be faster with someone else driving..I am not saying I am a good driver.. I was able to get a stock car 1/2 second faster, than a professional driver.....maybe I am in the wrong line of work....
