RX8 vs Corvette

So i took my car last night for a few runs at the local drag strip and i guess the highlight of the night for me was racing vs a corvette! I attached the pic of the time slip. Some readings are wrong due some problems in the computers at the place like my mph just after the 1/8 mile (its kinda ghetto lol). My final speed was 87.42 and 15.753 and the vett ran 13.650 at 110.03mph! it was a super closed start and it fell closed for a bit but then the vett pulled a good 2 cars from me! I couldnt even believe i had him for like 40 feat and when he passed me i was just smiling. I also ran vs my friends 06 civic si with full exhaust, intake, and clutch ( closest race all night) and my friends pontiac g5 which wasnt that fast. My car only has an AEM intake and tires then is all stock! Temperature last night was about 54-55F or 14C and the altitude here in calgary is about 1048m or 3448ft. I also took a video of GTR vs 3.8L Genesis and yeah just check the perfect launch by the gtr (sorry about the video quality, I used my iphone to record the video)
