competing with 350z, s2k, sti, evo, etc.
Can anybody tell me what would be the best setup for competing with these cars?
Is there any way to get onto the level of these cars without going FI, for example, would 4.77 gears, headers, intake, exhaust get the RX8 anywhere near these cars or does it take more?

The answer to all your questions in running with EVO and STI etc...at the strip lie in one simple word: MUSTANG
And I'm not really being too much of a smart ***...if I wanted a car for the dragstrip, the Mustang GT would be what I'd get.

The 350Z is the only one of those cars you can realistically take on the road course or drag strip with the mods available and even then its gonna be driver skill. On the road course a good driver can take down a 350Z, at the drag you need some help from NOS or intake/exhaust, ecu tuning, driving classes---or FI. EVO and STIs are out of our league--you may have a better shot modifying the car to chase down a Tiptronic 911.
