good clip but it looks like the rx8 owner is either an automatic or doesn't know how to launch the rotary engine.

The European RX-8 has a little less hp than the US spec I believe... It was rated at 230 last time I saw.

maybe that's just mean, but big deal an RX-8 is not exactly the fastest car on the block or anything....

It's definately a 5 speed, but that guy shifted really really slowly. RX-8s are also slower than almost all factory sports cars in a straight line. Get them on a real track and the outcome probably would have been a little different.

Lol, the guy didn't even chirp the tires on the launch from what i saw...

Most likely the fault of a shitty driver, or maybe they make Diesel RX-8's in europe =P

Stock for stock, no way the 3 wins. There are just too many variables in the video obviously to make any conclusion. I've quite a few stock 8's run between 14.5 and 14.9 quarter miles, nothing ground breaking but enough to handily beat a 3.
