Nice Vid! Just managed to download it after the rush has subsided!
The 350Z was obviously faster on the straights (300bhp v 250bhp so it should be), but the lines that the RX-8 was taking through the corners just really showed up how fast it was and how good the handling is
I hope the parts will be available over here to enable us to get that sort of performance from the car.

Here's what I gathered:
- They ask Fujita about how much the HP had been increased from the mod ?
300 HP ? He said it will lucky if he can get close to that number but
it is around that number, he thinks.
- They also ask what not throw in a turbo ? He said that make the interior
of the car extremely hot and it will do no good to the engine.
- Impression from the 1st drive of the two drivers:
- the car is Really Comfortable, Real Smooth and SooooEasy to
drive. Superb handling.
- The mod were not too aggressive but already see great
improvements. This implies to them that there Still lots of room left for
improvements in further modifications.
- the ride is so smooth feels like a very mature, refined vehicle.
- the car feel very light easy to slide into a corner but yet but it
never makes you feel like you are going to lose control of the car and slide
all over the place.
- Conclusion after the 1st test drive:
- Fujita Engineer really knows how to mod a car
- Engine feel a lot lighter and faster than the stock verison.
Especially when going up a slope.
- Suspension mod were superb.
- Excellent road feel
- Kick *** Tires.
- After the race
- Z Driver: it (the RX-8) really is a Sport Car !
- Worth Buying ?
- Z Driver: yea I think so, give you great pleasure just cruising
around in it. Awesome Handling and braking ability. But when it comes to
racing, you are gona lose in Straight away FOR SURE, which really is a turn
off for me. If there are more horsepower then yea for sure worth buying for
sure,
- RX-8 Driver: Well, I definitely think its worth buying. But I
rather have the Skyline.

Right at the end of the video there is a clip of a cutaway renesis. You said that you'd cut some of the video out. You didn't by any chance cut away the end. If so, could you post that cutaway video shot. I love watching the rotary at work.

I downloaded the video and I was surprised at the staying power of the Fujita RX-8.
I think the RX-8 was suprised, as well, but he mimiced that that the car seem to lack straight-line speed.
Note the jubilation and disappointment on the driver's faces.
Anyway, I took some snapshots.
EDIT: Almost forgot. Check out Babelfish translation of FEED's RX-8 page

Unless you are on a file-share network , I doubt you would find it. I can't see it on any of the car videos I visit.
BTW, it is from Hot Version 63.
