Ok heres the video: http://www.casmoe.com/RX8_vs_S2000A.wmv

 

Can anyone confirm all the mods for the Japanese A-spec RX-8? These clips definitely do not show a stock RX-8. I'm quite certain the A-spec has Mazdaspeed-tuned suspension among others.

 

Those were some great videos! It's pretty obvious that the S2000 can pull ahead on the straights but overall, the two seem pretty closely matched.

Great video - really shows a nice 3rd gear pull for both. clearly the s2000 pulls harder even at higher speeds - so either the guy i saw didn't floor it for some reason, of we underestimated the 150 - 200 lbs mark. musta been a couple of hefties in there...

 

I like how the 8 hung the s2000 out to dry in one of the corners. The s2000 understeered into the dirt. On a public road, he'd be in the ditch.

 

From a dig, the RX-8 cannot keep up with most. However, at highway speeds, before my turbo , I could keep up with a 350Z 6spd which was real surprising to both the Z guy and me.

maybe the Z guy was not racing with you...

 

cough, triple, cough, digits...

 

having a linear torque curve and another 4000 rpm (5000-9000) to accelerate with has its advantages... cough, triple, cough, digits
