Figures the RX-8 gets wasted in the straights. What engine mods are part of the amuse Z? Anyone else notice it was always getting absolutey buried past red line?

GT-R getting owned in the wet. Nice. I wonder what the outcome would be if Tsuchiya was driving the 8.

There was no way that the rx8 was going to win with that nsx and that skyline racing they kick out twice the horsepower how is that fair. make it a fair race and see how well the rx8 does.

That Z has one the knife edge of adhesion entering Turn 1, lap after lap. And when he had to grab opposite lock after getting the passenger side wheels in the dirt?! Wow.

The 8 was chillin in the cut, waiting for another spinout.

the Feed rx8 is very well tuned for tracks and i couldnt believe how well it kept up with the GTR and amuse Z especially on wet road too. the lap times of the Feed RX8 was pretty close to the others too

nvm - found it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewc2ZBQkqDM

at 2,930lbs and 345hp - theres no excuse to say the FEED RX8 is outclassed.

BTW, getting a Z down to 2930 lbs is VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!! More impressive than that nonsense Feed keeps rolling out.
