My stock 2004 RX8 6 speed top out at 140mph in fifth gear at 8500rpm, me and my friend weight 250pd together, with maybe 40 pd in the bag. Is this normal?????

240km/h (149 mph) legally in the Northern Territory of Australia, where there is no speed limit on open roads. And I do mean open roads... there is nothing for miles.
My friend has had his 350z up to 265km/h (165 mph).
