Even if Danielson's car is faster (but we know it isn't) than a V-Red car, it doesn't matter because he will crash it...or someone will crash into him...or a manure truck will spill its load on it...or a meteor will hit it...or it will get swallowed up in a sink hole....or 1000 rabid gophers will attack it....or an airplane will land on it.....or it will catch fire....or it will get run over a float in next year's T.O. gay pride parade.....or it will blow up from spontaneous combustion.
Suncursed Silver of French Titanium silver; its all the same. Their destiny is the junk yard.

first off, sunlight silver is only cursed because the sun reflects off it and gives the other drivers the agony of starring into the sun.
secondly, Titanium greys are not only the fastest but the strongest, as one of titanium's most notable characteristics is that it is as strong as steel but is less than half its weight. :p titanium rulez all muahahahahahah

question about 8's that appear to have higher HP.. could that be directly related to the way you drive(ECU tunes the car slightly)?
If so, why the hell can't we just set the ECU to the max ??

Danielson, unfortunately this is not much of debate, the fact is, Red are DESIGNED to be faster from the ground up. Even if you put in a Air Filter which effectively might add a best case scenerio of 10 hp to the wheel, you still can't beat their 20 Hp Velocity paint job. Unless you have a Turbo installed and recoat your car's paint with a different colour, I'm afraid there isn't much to argue.
Mazda wouldn't upgrade the Red's braking system unless they know it is totally necessary to contain the extra 20 hps.

We were comparing all different air filter and mods done to the car, my friend Helas can tell you this is all too real, he did used my video camera...Anyway, if you want to try it, name a place and a time, I will show you if red is actually faster than silver...because so far, it didn't happend to me, I can also tell you the maximum of the RX8 is 253 km/h and then the converner stop the car.
I love driving my RX8, I don't mind driving to Toronto just for show

So Danielson I think you missing more than 20 hp from the Reds.
You sure you weren't comparing your dyno with a bunch of Mazda3s ?
