that 230 for the 128 is off of BMWs website, so that's crank.

ACS1 135i. 360hp/332tq. Says it has an exhaust and some ECU tuning.

I'm not the one being a biscuit trying to sell my car to get a POS car because my oil line broke. Boo F'n Hoo. Learn to fix the problem and move on Mr. "I was planning to have 3 stages on my car, but since stage 1 broke, I'm gonna do the girl thing and sell my car!"

Ask your little brother to help you. He might have more ***** then you do...

RX-8... Pathetic.

And you don't like the way the rear bumper looks? Why the F*CK did you get a tC in the first place then?

First of all, I just simply want a faster car from the factory. 2nd of all, the tC starts to have major problems around 425WHP to 450WHP, plus the BMW 135i is WAY nicer. I could easily get 500WHP with one from a reflash, exhaust, and better turbos.

the only thing i cant get over is $35000 price for a small car like that. from what I've read, it looks very promising... just imagine what the M-series (M1) will be like

By the way, my friend has a 588 WHP RX8, so go tell him his car is pathetic. His car is f*cking insane. He did it all himself too.

You beat a M5 with a turbo'd tC? Hard to believe.

ZPI stage 1 tC putting 300whp made 12.1 quarter mile. i know zpi is fraud

but that just proves the potential of a tC

Jeff may have VERY BAD grip issues or something but he should be a LOT faster than that!

It was pumping more than 300whp. It was on 14 PSI and Race gas, hardly 300whp. More like 350-400whp. But yes, a 454whp tC is faster than 12.5 sec 1/4 mile.

the M5 has "500" hp but by a 'heart break' load dyno it puts down 428 to the pavement.

my turbo tC (greddy) puts down 258WHP/ 273WTQ and takes an M5. no joke not makin this up!

RX-8's are overrated very much, especially power wise... it all comes down to the 1/4 mile time... a turbo tC is easily in the 12's range

first of all, a stock tC would get dominated by a stock rx-8 with a manual tranny. you've probably raced the auto ones which only have 200 crank hp i believe. otherwise the dudes you raced forgot to downshift. you can say you don't care what i think, but there's no way your stock tC can take a stock manual tranny rx-8 in any form or fashion.

second, there's no way your greddy tC takes a new M5. that's just not happening. maybe an old model. those of us with TurboToyota kits running higher PSI levels MIGHT be able to keep up with a brand new M5 and take it on a good day from a roll.

third, it doesn't all come down to 1/4 mile time. sorry. an RX-8 would devour a tC (stock) on any sort of road with curves. and i wouldn't say a turbo tC is "easily" in the 12's. you ever wonder why a 300whp tC runs 13 but a 450whp tC runs 12.5? FWD + insane power = no traction. high hp does not mean fast 1/4 mile time (since that's all that matters in your book).

normally i don't post something like this, but your comment was so ridiculous i just felt the need to address it.

You people suck at knowing Facts. 300whp tC runs high 12's with the right traction and driver. A 450whp tC should and could run low 12s/high 11's....

Secondly, RX8 sucks with and without a turbo. It's over priced for the performance you get. It does not blow the doors off a stock tC even if the 8 has a manual. They only run high 14's at best. A tC runs low 15's. So, they are pretty damn close when it comes to racing in a straight line. Now in the turns, yes, 8 > tC.

If I remembered right the dezod s1 kit had 12.XX on slicks on < 12 psi, 400+ is way more than just 12 sec..

^^Not right, but who cares....lol.

Just food for thought.

2007 RX8 6spd manual...running a 15.0...LOL

http://www.dragtimes.com/Mazda-RX-8-Timeslip-12238.html

I ran a 15.1/15.2 with just an exhaust on the tC.

I didn't post this....

Anything else???

i dont disagree, it also depends on the driver... u gotta understand that

Yeah, but a Stage 3 SRT is pumping out in the 300+whp range. A tC on only 8 PSI is 260whp at best, unless you got some massive GT30 and up turbine on it. So, I wouldn't say it came down to the driver on that. The SRT guy would have to basically suck major big ones to loose to a tC on only 8 PSI.

But all that is, is a few cranks on the boost ****, and put the tC back in front of that Stg. 3.
