Torque MONSTER!!!! Eat that Civic EX!
Well looking at the RX-8 boards, it was supposed to be a 247hp modelIve 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 ForumsThere 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.
