RX-8 : Unknown (probably stock)
240sx: Sr20det @6psi

I was heading back to my house down 285-E, i had just dropped my brother off at home. I got onto the highway around near Cascade. I was pulling down the ramp at about 50mph and i saw this red RX-8 flying past everyone. So i figured id have alittle fun. I drop into 3rd and i catch up about half a mile down the road and get next to him in the far lane. I guess he took a look at my car and took me as a joke because he just sped off. So i catch up in a matter of 5 seconds to let him know its no joke.

So we gun it. I immediately start pulling slowly away from him and beat him by about 2-3 cars and i keep going. I then pull infront of some other cars because i figured i was done. He clearly wasant going to let me get away with that so he finds me and paces me again. I again pull off in 3rd gear and ride it out til about 7k and again i leave him. I slow down about a half mile later and he comes flying past at about 100mph. I guess he figured it wasant over. So i just go catch him again and smoke him once again. This time he almost hits my car comming out of his lane into mine. So i speed ahead and move in front of some other traffic hoping to loose him. By this time we had been running for about 12 minutes all the way down to sandy springs exit from cascade exit. I see my exit Ga-400 comming up so i pull to get off the exit. I guess the dude was baffelled how the hell a 240sx just beat his RX8 shitless because he called me something out of the window and honked at me the for like 10 seconds when i was slowing down and getting over to the slow lane. I guess he know where he stands now. Right inline behind the 240.

I got home got right on here.

RX8 in the bag.

243whp under 6lbs of boost?

RX-8's feel really slow until they get above 6k rpm.

Not to burst anyone's bubble but you don't get a rx-8 for speed (drag/ highway pulls). You pay all that money for a well balanced, easy to drive, and overall a fun car to drive. I've driven my co-worker's brand new rx-8 that he's making his first payment next week, and it's truly a great car. I would never pay for one though....

I dont know his mods, it looked pretty clean tho. I assume it was stock. He was driving like he had just taken it off the lot or something.

I wasnt to impressed with the last RX-8 I drove. They are alot slower than the older better RX models.

Good kill though :goodjob:
