In this peticular case I'd argue this point. But I'm not going to try peticularly hard. Every review of the 2 cars shows the RX-8 is rougly a second faster in teh 1/4 and more than than 0-60. He does seem to take an eternity to get back on the throttle thru a shift.
Mazda did drop the ball on the RX-8. The engine was designed for a 2100lb car, not a 3000lb car. Shove the engine in the MX-5 or turbo the RX-8 and call it done.
