won $50 bucks on my C32

Last weekend I went to a party and one guy was looking at my car and made a comment,

RX8= nice Car to bad is just a V6! you want to race?
Me= dont want to take your money
Rx8= yah I take out benz all the time (telling his buddy)
me= sure you do, I bet you not this one
RX8= $50
Me= why not lets go down to the industrial park area where its empty.
RX8= Deal!

we lined up, I honk 3 times and we went at it! I hit 120 mph and he was maybe 10 cars away, spanked him so bad!

we stopped and he gave me the $50 bucks, he was pissed! I told him thanks for the gas & starbucks money.

Nice cash-n-kill!

I have also raced a (presumably stock) RX8 with my (modded) C32. Even with two people in my car (the RX8 driver was alone) it was ugly. I really like the way those RX8s look though.

Actually, you are 1/2 right and 1/2 wrong. Just when you think that life is chocolate-sweet, it all turns into a big, dark, burning Hershey's dump.

I holeshot RX8's all the time....in a diesel

How to spank an RX8 with a CDI E320....

Watch light, when other street gets a yellow, bring RPM's up to 2500 with left foot firmly on brake, trans in "s" mode, and right foot on gas.

Make sure ESP in "ON!!!" or you will just sit there and look stupid as you melt your rear tires in a cloud of smoke.

When your light goes green, release brake and throw all the coals on her. 369 ft-lbs of torque hit the pavement instantly.

Glance over your left shoulder to see the determined yet bewildered look of the RX8 driver as he inhales your diesel fumes.

It pretty much confirms my theory that the more people talk ****, the least knowledgeable they are. The RX8 did not stand a chance (it may be more exciting to drive though, but that was not the point).

Or... realize that the guy can actually launch and just handed you your ***, just not by much.
