Bingo!!! Anyone that buys an S2k for what it truely is will not spend any time at a drag strip, and would not bother trying to rate their car with another comparing 1/4 mile times! To the Rustang/'Maro next to me revving his engine like crazy, see if you can keep up when you have to turn?
Owning an S2k and having test driven an RX-8 for a nice long while one afternoon I say it comes down to preference, both are high reving, nice handling cars, one is a true sports car while one is a sports sedan. Personally, I felt like the RX was a little "soft" and the interior didn't feel as nicely crafted as the Honda for a similar price......But maybe I'm biased
