Cool

Just had me a damn good 145mph thrash against these other two an hour ago. I was very suprised on the 120 mph+ pickup on the RX8 and was glad for the other traffic getting in the way and slowing him down, . Against the TT at that speed my WRX had only a slight advantage over the TT - unfortunately!

Was this on the motorway? How did it compare at lower speeds?

BTW, put your flamesuit on!

akshay, it was on the Autobahn here, so that pretty much answers your post too jjones
I don't know how it would compare at lower speeds - they came past me at about 110 mph, so I nailed it and overtook to see how it would compare. The TT who was between me and the RX8 did seem to run out of grunt a bit, which unfortunately held up the RX8. I have the feeling that the RX8 would give a Subaru a damn good go, if not beat it. Subarus just aren't made for Autobahns

That's cool

I think you are right about Autobahns. My experience with imprezas (uk -> 280) show that they are an effective straight line weapon, but only in the first three gears. Mind you, may a different story with the 350+ monsters

Autobahns are dangerous places! There are some serious vehicles lurking about on them! The bigger Audis and BMWs are seriously fast and aren't worth bothering with unless you want a good bitch-slapping! (Different story if I'm on my blade, though
