iduno why people think the rx8 has 210 hp.... maybe my butt dyno lies, but it felt waaaaayyy quicker than my near-stock gst (which also has 210 hp). only mods on it are intake. hell, it even feels faster than my talon, which is a little more modded with boost controller, and intake/exhaust. maybe its cuz my cars have poor top end, and toque falls off after 5500. iduno. i was pretty pleased with the 8 when i took one out for a long test drive with a very nice 25 year old sales guy, who was willing to let me do what i wanted with it. i havnt been able to test an s2000 as well, but compared to what im used to, it sure accelerated and cornered very nicely. plus, it looks awesome, and the interior really is top notch.

It's also well known that the RX8 is tough to dyno. It's traction control kicks in which limits the power to the wheels. Don't worry about horsepower. Go drive the car, trust me, it will be fast enough.
