RX-8 vs. RX-7 race video

Here's a video I found of an RX-8 with an onboard camera, going toe to toe with an RX-7. It's very interesting to see how these two are compared on the track. Check it out....

I noticed the RX8 seem to catch up with the 7 around corners, but the 7 gained some distance on the straights...

just as I would expect, from reading everything in the past 2 months.

Hmn, that 8 did pretty good.

It passed:

nissian sentra (not the spec v SE-R)
BMW 3-series (don't know which one)
nissian 300zx
nissian 200sx

although those cars r not very fast, the 8 caught up 7 on the corners.

Seems to me the traffic on the course helped keep the RX-7 in the shot.....otherwise....zoom zoom....the 7 wins BIG

Kinda fun to watch though!

English: I agree with you. Aside from what looked like a Celica GT that was honestly pased, the other cars seemed to be ******* it. As to the 7, it was being conservative with the traffic. You could see it pull away on the straightaway.

Great video though! Thanks for queuing that up Wolv!

Jeez the 8 would be a (very) fun car with 247hp!

Yea. RX8 totally has no chance against the 7. Mazda never meant to make RX8 faster than RX7 though.

And another. This time the RX-8 completely blows by an RX-7. I think the RX-7 was probably on a warm up lap and wasn't racing with the RX-8....
