My car met an RX8 tonight quite unacquainted with LS1's
he started revving, and moving past me and back me and etc... revealing he was modified...
i'm like... RX8... you must be kidding... didnt hear a BOV, so couldnt have had to worry at all
he really must not have known what i was capable of.
he egged me on to play a little cat and mouse.... this was northbound on tonnele avenue btw
i was pretty tired and not in the mood to think to make him believe i was slow.. so the cat quickly became the mouse... and than he kept trying to go around me...
lets just say this was NOT POSSIBLE... he'd slow down i'd slow down, he'd speed around i'd speed up
it was very funny, he really thought he had something!!!!
than he pulls up next casually and just pretty much bows down before the LS1, with a bunch of "holy s*** dude nice! oh man that thing is quick!"
than he took his exist, waved to me good bye and that was it
good sport about his terrible defeat
quick little tale for you guys!
-Dane

autocross is more driver than anything else. have you ever been to an autocross event? cause some people bring SUVs and keep up with some low slung cars.
and a ls1 could hang damn close to a rx8 on a road course stock for stock. don't underestimate the abilities of an fbody. they are no BMW, but they hold their own

hell Just because of the weight distribution of my engine being behind the front tires, if I upgraded to IAS shocks/struts and bigger tires I could hang.

please dont tell me that you think an f-body handles as well as an rx8, stock for stock. How many times have you driven one? maybe next thing you're gonna tell me that it handles as good as elise too? or maybe its just the ls1 thing and it cant be beat? 
and yes ive been to an auto-x's and have seen 0 f bodies there.

so on a road course the best handling car wins? power and grip have nothing to do with it? but our cars do handle well, i stick to my claim.
and i went with my buddy (s2000) to a auto-x and watched a ls1 best his time by 2 seconds. and you know how much 2 seconds is in autocross, especially since he auto-xs often and has a car that handles far better than an fbody

RX8s handle great. It's a shame about the engine issues, though.

rx6,7,8 have a great motor. The Wankel has a 270 degree power stroke vs. the 180 of a V-8. Their weakness is the face and apex seals. It's the only import I would ever buy. Alot of potential.
