Rx8 on-track redemption
I actaully found this in which the Rx8 finishes ahead of the S2000. Most other clip I've seen had the S2000 usually ahead of the Rx8.

The rx8 in the video clip is of A spec. I could tell from the video it could easily out corner other fwd integra type car.

Wow, the S2000 wasn't even in sight at the finish. The A spec-8 is stiffer suspended, but otherwise has the stock power ratings. Not bad.
Otherwise, the video just confirms that some guys have WAY cooler jobs than I do. Oh, and I am far from mastering the art of the heel and toe.

It kind of irks me that with the new Honda NSX, Toyoto Supra, Nissan 350Z/Skyline, Mazda doesn't seem to have anything in this affordable, high performance segment. But nothing that couldn't be fixed with a brand new Rx7.
I was watching an old video with Rx7 competing against the NSX and the Rx7 was just out-cornering the NSX easily. Imagine what the Rx7 can do with updated suspension, engine.
