The race being discussed was a straight line race, and both drivers agreed to run. Meaning the RX-8 driver knew what he was getting himself into. Then you come on here making excuses about how it would be "different on the road course ect ect ect", but the bottom line is that irrelevent, because thats not what happened - they weren't in a road course race, they raced in a straight line. So just drop it - you lose, stop making excuses

you said you could beat an FD with your WS6, right? LOL
The thread starters quote "poor attitude" is not your problem, and therefore you shouldn't be worrying about it. If he doesn't like Jap cars, then thats his opinion. We're on LS1 Tech, not an RX7 forum, deal with it.

i have the LS1 because i want to do it all. 350rwhp is enough for me.
straight line performance < road courses

There's no tolerance for jap bashing just for jap bashing sake IMO. Sure, this is LS1tech, but it's also the Street Racing and Kills forum. There's all makes and models here. Most of us respect anything that goes fast with a level headed driver/owner.

it's a public forum. i stated my opinion just like he did. calling it crap is just stupid. if it doesn't meet his standards, it's not crap, that has to do with prefference.
and i am aware it's a street race. he called it crap because it couldn't keep up with his modified car, wow.

So trolling about Jap imports being superior is just plain stupid, take it somewhere else, nobody wants to listen to it around here.

The fact that it was modded has nothing to do with it. A stock LS1 will still rape an RX-8, no contest. The RX-8 may not be crap, but for $30K, its not very fast. It doesn't matter how great it handles when you're in a stright line race on the highway.
RX8's around here sell for 18-20K; brand new base models. again, not everyone buys cars with the intentions of going fast straight.
my mom's van was $38K, with a weak *** "powerband" (if you even want to call it that), does that mean it should be loaded with an amazing/decent amount of power? no. you are just somply paying for class.

it's just about two cars, an RX8 and an Fbody, that is all - do not involve ALL domestics and ALL imports.
so how about that friendly challange?
any course of your choice, maybe some respect for that "15 year old jap crap" can come about this

A stock RX8 is a slow turd. 2 years ago, I would have thought the car was a total POS.
My tendencies have swayed towards roadcourses, and there, I've seen the value of chasis, suspension and brakes over power. The RX8 makes for a great vehicle for this venue. We all know that.
Having heard those rotary engines scream at WOT down the straights at Homestead-Miami and Daytona, I heave a newfound respect for the car.

superior = BETTER.
ace xbox noted how an LS1 is "more superior" than the rotary.

remember, power isn't everything on road courses.
