Well looking at the RX-8 boards, it was supposed to be a 247hp model
Ive been lookin around at the RX-8 boards and from what I've seen there have been 3 different 247hp* RX-8's dyno'd with the following milage 600, 1000, and 2215 miles respectively. All of which dyno'd between 174-178hp with torque curves all below 130. O and that BLAZING 174 is at 8500rpm, talk about waiting around for nothing. Sounds like the HP overrating on the Miata all over again. o and check it out here also RX8 Forums (http://www.rx8forum.com/showthread.php?threadid=7920&perpage=15&pagenumber=1)
There is this Video that was posted on some forum, maybe on racingflix now.
Anyways its by best motoring and they have the RX-8, 250hp WRX, S2000, G35, RSX, and a couple other cars.
And they all pull the Rx-8 in the straits. Thats with the RX-8 coming out of the corner first, so it kinda has the lead on going full throttle first.
Although I dont understand what they say at the end, you can tell they are kinda dissapointed by the outcome of the RX-8. they probably expected more.
