My RL vs RX-8 (drag strip)

Pretty slow night for most cars at the strip. Hot and humid. Best run for me was 13.8 @ 100 w/ a 2.2 60'. Strange MPH for that run.

This was was 14.0 @ 104, versus the RX-8 @ 15.5 @ 96.

The cobra h/e has helped. Toward the end of the night, lots of cars left, so I ran 3 times w/ in less than an hour. Time actually went down for my last run (13.8 again) versus a 14.2 run not long before. Last time at the strip, my times went steadily up throughout the night.

Damn, SLS, your car sounds wicked. What mods have you got to date? And what's your redline set at? Thing sounds like it revved to the moon.

2.6, 60#ers, K&N, Dan-tuned, 7200 rpm. Usually don't run it up that high, just at the track.

Are RX-8's relatively slow? I've raced two.. one was a chick dunno if auto or not, the other was a stock 6 speed and I crushed him, after taking a ride after in it feels like its lacking all torque... but that redline is awesome!

Yeah it was a bad night for everyone. Jay said it was because of the lack of slick cars puttin down the rubber for the street cars.
