(though i also heard its hard to get an accurate dyno on one). auto rx8's are easy kills for the RSX while the 6spd is almost neck to neck from a roll and this has been done many times stock to stock
ive been singing that song since the RX8 was released, 238HP my ass. Regardless of the high points of that car, the out-of-box performance sucks plain and simple. Ive never had a challenge racing that car, i dont see how a Type-S can lose to it if i dont and like i said i beat some Type-S's and some beat me so its probably a hondata thing . Either way i would be embarrassed to race my RX8 if i owned one.
