Re: svx vs RX8

Great times Walter! 14.82 @ 95mph is a very solid time. With your traps, you should be running ~14.5 in the 1/4. Maybe if you put stiffer springs in the back, it can keep the front end planted and reduce your wheel spin off the line...

Love the pet monkey idea! You'll also be able to pick up chics with him if you taught him some tricks!

P.S. Fastest time I've seen for a stock RX-8 is 14.5 by a dude named Judge Ito who's like a demi-god in the rotary world. When he's not behind the wheel, most good drivers get 14.7-14.9 depending on air temp - the average time I've seen is about a 15.2-15.4 for the 6MT and 16.0-16.3 for the auto's.
