Speed & Acceleration Fun Data
Not sure if it's a repost, but I came across this today and I found it entertaining to look through.

It has some fun trivia footnotes embedded between the data tables.
List of "fast" cars (RX-8 is at the bottom of the list... below the Accord):

also his comment on dragsters not being able to get 8gs because F1 cars corner at no more than 5Gs and have 4 wheels is flawed. I guarantee you the contact patch on a top fuel dragster is larger than an F1s total contact patch.

The near instantaneous massive rearward weight transfer of a top fuel dragster would generate about 5Gs, perhaps even more for a split second.
