Bayer-Z28

I raced an RX8 after putting my wheels on tonite. Nost saying the wheels helped, but it seems to SNAP a bit better now.

I was comming out of the main gate @ holloman. THere's a LONG SWEEPING corner. I mean LONG! it's a fun road! I usually average about 80mph on it. I saw the suspected vehicle about 200 ft in front of me doing about the same speed. I cought up to him. After leaving the turn and entering the freeway, I was in 4th turning about 3 grand and doing about 85mph-90. I pulled along side of him, played for a second, heard him downshift and we both laid on it. (this one was stock and quiet)

I pulled on him twice. He pulled along side of me and asked what I had I told him headers and susp mods. I also added that he had a nice car. (not to be a d**K, but the car is nice..) I heard him downshift AGAIN and he got about 2 car lengths ahead of me. I went form 5th to 3rd and walked right past him.

Quite fun I do say.. We pulled for a while... This is a long empty freeway BTW, @ about 9pm. I must have hit about 120-130....

Fun race. The RX8's can hang for a bit....

You should absolutely destroy an RX8 from any speed. They may make similar hp numbers as the old RX7 turbo but that's all on paper. They trap something like low-mid 90s in the quarter - that's pretty sad for a "sporty" car these days. I'll bet my mom's Hyundai Azera would handle one pretty well!
