if you want the numbers and are debating whether the RX-8 is slow, go rear a road test from a reputable car magazine.

So basically you're street racing as you do not have any timed drag records?

Yes.

Somehow I doubt the OP has a custom turbo 20B setup. If the RX-8 came with a factory option for a 20B turbo I don't think there would be a lot of complaints about speed. Probably even more complaints about gas mileage though.

@jordansemailaddress... if you want to know how fast a car is "on the street" then see what kind of drag times the car is putting down. Most street encounters are stop light to stop light or roll races. Both types of racing are extremely dangerous, and neither play to the RX-8s strong suit; good handling.
