Funny thing happen today
 
So i was at work and one of my junior sailors came up to me and said he wanted to race me on a track course.
Of course i smiled cause i know he has a stock RX8. The guy next to him said
" You do understand he has a 1LE right?"
He said " O i thought you had a V8. Nevermind"
Once i got up off the floor from laughter, i explained to him that the 1LE was a track ready V8.
He said he still thinks he would beat me due to the RX8 having a great 50/50 weight ratio.
I walked away laughing and told him to just tell me what day.

You can't blame him for believing in his own car.

Do you guys do random drug testing. He may be in trouble.

Guy I work with just bought a new evo gsr and wants to run me. Soon another buddy of mine from work are going to hit up a track day at willow springs and told him to come out and put his money where his mouth is. He says well atleast my evo will take you in the corners lol I said you realize my car pulls over 1g on the skid pad right, he just looked puzzled and was like oh really are you sure lol. :bonk:

I put an evo behind me on the road course that supposedly had similar power as my 1LE

there's always people like that... My buddy's brother keeps telling me he's got $250 that says his 2000 duramax will leave my 1LE in the dust... But I don't want to drag race a truck on the streets

A really good driver in either of those cars would be surprisingly quick.

Watch out for some of those Diesels my brother in law has a 04 F-350 single cab that pulls 12.2 in the 1/4

^^^^^^+1. Those diesels can be wicked. :hail:

I could swear the 1LE also has very close to 50/50 if I remember correctly. Sure feels like it does, and that's coming from a former EVO owner.

shoulda slow played it, not said anything and just whipped his ass on the track and surprised him

guys got jokes, we had a Turbo RX8, running Toyo R888's and Tein 3way coils on the track at Toronto Motorsports Park at one of the track days I went to, he was 6 seconds a lap slower than my 1LE, also lapped faster than an Audi R8 V8, AM Vantage V8 and a highly modded SN95 Stang.

All the import guys see if a heavy V8 muscle car and think no way it can corner.

The driver is a pretty big factor on a road course, but a 1.3L RX-8 would have a tough time keeping up with a stock SS IMO
