What do you drive?

The Supra or the RX8 or both?


OK I just looked up the RX8 and the most powerful engine only has a torque rating of 159. That seems pretty cheesy for a $30K car. You'd definitely need some aftermarket toys to keep from being embarassed by a lot of other cars.

the RX8's are nice....but those rotary engines rev really high.....no low end power.....i think it redlines at 10k or something...still a pretty sweet car though.

If I had my way, I'd be driving a WRX STI....that car will basically spank just about anything on a twisty road.....:p

Redline at 9K. Your'e way close for quoting it just off the top of your head.

so its the high revving thing that makes it have such crappy torque? Ok that explains a lot then. That's why 4cyl cars even with a lot of hp always have way less torque than bigger engines with equal hp.

right...the powerband occurs at higher revs.....you really have to get the revs up there to stay in the powerband.

however, a turbo can greatly help with that :p, and a supercharger, even more on the low end.

that's why I loves me some turbo
