Just leaving the city to go home and i see lights coming on me pretty hard so for fun of it i give some gas and speed up a bit. Well the car sees that then slows down and goes beside me and starts revving it up i'm thinking wtf? anyways he both hit it at the same time and i am slowly pulling away from he we hit 100mph he lets off for some reason and i had about a car on him. Must have been mad because he lost and let off at 100. Btw was in the eco-boost 4door 4wd f150 lol.

Any exaggeration to this story or did you seriously kill the rx8 by one car with your truck?

I love how you left out the truck part until the end lol. Epic story. Have you tuned your ecoboost or anything yet?

I can definitely see that, we have a couple ecoboost 4 door 4wd work trucks where I work and they move out! Ecspecially up top they pull hard for what they are!

Lol. Nice. If I got beat by a mostly stock 4 door truck I'd start looking for something a little less slower.

I'm trying to convince my brother to buy one of these trucks but we'll see.

Haha! Good kill, OP! He was probably pretty embarrassed after you pulled on him in a truck. RX8's have never appealed to me...at all!

How easy is it to make RX-8's faster? The reason I ask is because I have never heard of any with significant power added. Isn't there much of an aftermarket for them? When I see them on the road, I just assume they are no threat at all.

there is only one way I know how to make them FAST

take the motor/trans and sell for scrap


Replace with H/C/I LS1 and a T56

Profit

#LS1
