the other night i pulled up next to an rx8 5sp, no engine mods that i know of. he was a kid i knew from high school, the light turned green, i didnt really think he was gonna take off but he did. so i went trying to keep as much traction as i could through first gear when my car shifted into second (auto) i floored it and i caught right up to him. we got up to around 60 before the next light came and i let of the gas before he did. right as we were both slowing down the next light turned green and we went again, and again it was pretty much even. i think i started to pull away but i left off before we hit 65. i thought those cars was fast. was it just the driver or did i pretty much win?????

 

its because ur car has more TQ per HP, Torque is what wins drag races... but yes, let this thread be locked now...

 

crappy driver

 

^^^ Crappy driver with no TQ to back him up..

I have had a similar experience i was very shocked

 

First post noob.

Rotary>V any day(dont argue, you know that rotarys are awesome). Crappy Driver or he was taunting you.

 

Or OR OR... How do you know what I was driving?...Or what could have possibly been done to my car. I have owned rx7s and driven rx8s. GET OVER YOURSELF You are totally ignorant as to who I am and what driving experience that I have.

 

Next time, post this in the appropriate section.

 

I'm sorry to inform you but rotaries are total pieces of fawkin sh1te.. A fully built 13b is panzy compared to say a built RB, JZ or any other power house.


Sure, for drifting 13k RPM are nice.. That's about it. They are also unreliable, unefficient and they use so much friggen oil its ridiculous.
