RX8 versus rx7fd on track who'd win???

[neil_jdmr]

Having been to more than one rx8oc track day i can say from experience a oem seq twin with mid level tune can easily outrun the na rx8s. Handling in the 8s is reportedly better but unless your a driver able to take advantage of this you won't notice and an fd's straight line speed is more than enough to just keep pulling lap on lap.

I'm in no way knocking rx8s as I'm a huge fan for a na legend but a turboed fd is very very quick car.

...For example, Tsukuba is a track that needs power more than handling...

What? No.

Tsukuba is a tiny track that relies on handling much more than power. That is why in so many Best Motoring Tests the NSX, RX-7 and GTR at factory 280bhp levels could keep up with the Porsche 911's and Ferarri's they would test them against on that track. However, when they would test these cars against the European exotics on larger tracks like Fuji and Suzuka the unmodified Japanese cars would get left in the dust, because Fuji and Suzuka are real power tracks.

Dammit, sorry about that. It was brainfart. I did mean completely oppisite that I wrote. I did mean exactly the same thing that you wrote when you corrected me

I have watched those Best Motoring vids for ages now. Really fascinating to see difference between different cars. Also, as Cib wrote, really awesome to watch when they get big guns and go flay out in big tracks
