gs300 / rx8 wtf?
::all events taken place on closed course yadayadayada::
On the way home last night from a bad idea, another bad idea pulled up next to me. 60 at one the lights between Brandon in plant city. I’m sitting there happily listening to something obnoxious and loud waiting on the light turn green when I hear something loud and more obnoxious pull up next to me. It is a RX8, he's revving it to the limiter and looking over at me. Now keep in mind I’m in a stock gs300 it’s a 4 door boat on wheels not something I look at and think man that’s fast. Well I’m bored the radar says alls clear I rev back, making almost no noise threw the stock exhaust, turn off traction and hit the all mighty power button. Light turns green I 'launch' off the foot break he spines the hell out of his tires dumping the clutch pulling in front of me a touch. By the time I hit 2nd gear I had pulled ahead of him. Every time I tried to manually shift the car I hit the limited for a second, he caught up, my tranny hit the next gear, and I pulled ahead. We ran it up 110ish and I let off, he flew by stomped his breaks got next to me again and motioned like he wanted to go again. We slowed to 40 this time I only manually dropped the car into "running" gear then quickly slapped it back to full auto pulling ahead of him on his honks and stay there till 100ish. He gave me the thumbs up, I returned, and noticed his passenger had a video cam so I’m hoping to find a video of it somewhere.
I think his car had to have something wrong with it like a slew of dead hookers in the trunk or only one working rotor or the guy just has no clue how to drive.
Summary:
GS300 vs RX8 – 0 to 110 = GS300 by a little
GS300 vs RX8 – 40 to 100 = GS300 by a little less

You just found out what ever person on the planet, that's not Puertarican, has known for the last 80 years....
What I point to is that Top Gear loved the RX8 and hated the 350z
"Wankel" is a very fitting name.
