190 whp 2800+ pounds vs. almost between 180-200 guestimated whp but only 2516 pounds. There was one at the 1/8th mile track last night that ran a best of 9.42 with decent launches. I pulled a 9.1 @ over 80, never got to race him though.

have you ever thought about the fact that 250 is not to the wheel but to the crank? I mean even s2000 only makes around 210whp.

ummm no dude that S2000 had about 6K of work done it. Think Mugen and then think just about every bolt on part for Mugen on that S2000.
You didn't know that did you :chuckles:

ohh i forgot on all the test models of the rx-8 out there, the third stage of the intake isn't enabled, so that's probably why it's been underrated, mazda had a little difficultly with the 3rd port sticking, but they have fixed it now, but the test cars still have the problem

you could get an aluminium rotor though, lighter weight so easier to spin
