the motors are different not sure as to the specs on a 3 but the motors ARE different ...................
and My Focus lauchs the same way if I side step the clutch @ 6000 rpm with the mad torque steer as well ........... curse of an open diff ( no LSD )
as for the RX-8 losing it sounded like he was trying to launch at around 4000rpm and with the "lack of torque" he will get stomped off of the line ( the engine would bog after grip is attained )....
i would attribute the loss to a modded 3 and a bad launch and slow, long shifts on the RX-8 drivers part.
