Just Compared RX8 stock to Stage 1 RX8
just posted this on another thread but though it would make for interesting comments here. I have the good fortune of living in the same city as Maurice, so I was able to get a first hand comparison here with the stage 1.
I went out with Maurice & Cam on Monday night to test the new map for my car. We did some runs with my mod turned off, to compare against it stock. We found a stretch of road to do some good runs side by side. From a start, through first and second he pulled away easily, then as soon as we both went into 3rd gear, he pulled hard and was about 4-5car lengths before I gave up.
The power on the new map is soooo smooth, we turned it off so we could actually do a side by side comparison to see the difference.
Yesterday coming home from some running around, a young guy in a modded out Talon Turbo wanted to race from a light. The next light we came up to, the road was clear as we were in the west end of town. We took off, and I slightly pulled away in first and second, and in third gear I noticed he was a car length or so behind me before I back off to slow down.
He wanted to see the car, so next light he rolled down his window to chat. I asked him what mods he had done, and he mentioned Intake and exhaust, and something else?? but I couldn't hear him.
