Cobalt SS vs Rx8 Vid
Just thought I would share this video with everybody. Also read some of the comments from the rx8 people, and tell me what you think.

pretty funny, seems like the RX-8 owners can't determine what their car puts out for power or what transmissions they come with. stock for stock a Cobalt will beat up on those any day but probably not in auto-x.

first off, traffic kinda ruined it....
second, the RX8 needs to wait for the 3rd beep. not floor it on the second.
third he was getting pulled in HARD.
4th, those rx8 owners are scramblin for excuses in there hahahahaha

people that own more expensive cars that ours will always resort to things like: my car is track built. or your econobox this and that. or you still own a 21,000 piece of **** cavalier. it's getting really old...
I don't know why people are so suprised they are so slow...if anyone knew anything about Rotaries, they'd know why the RX-8 is so slow. The motors are slower revving and don't start making good amounts of power till they are high in their rpm band...why do you think the RX-7s came twin turbo'd?
Point blank, Mazda messed up the whole concept of the RX series...
1. Lightweight
2. Turbocharged
