Jim - what is your opinion of the RX-8? I've seen some reports that on the race track, with light modifications, they've pretty much wiped clean a lot of the competition.

I was at a Rotary only AX and my friend let me toss around his bone stock RX-8 with worn out street tires. This was right after getting out of my car with slicks.
I was blown away at how well it turned. Yes it was down on power but it could rail.
Speedsource is doing quite well with the 8's racing they are having lots of success.
