  • I know the posts that come from the fanbois. "My neon is faster." My so and so with turbo is better. First thing you have to know about the 8: it's not a drag race car. It will walk all over your neon or civic or whatever on a track. The 8 is a handling sports car of epic proportions. When you come up on a curve and slam on the brakes, the 8 cruises right through the turn and leaves your FWD wiggling and wobbling trying to get traction.

  • What else is done to this 8?

  • i bought a 2009 rx8 r3 last year and i love it. I had 30k to spend and i could of bought any car in its class that i wanted. i did my research and even read 1000's of douch bags shitty comments towards the rx8. After test driving a 2008 350Z gt convertible which was one i was considering after reading all the nasty comments online. i then drove the rx8 and wow it was a a bette car in every aspect. i now read the comments and laugh cuz they prob never even been in one let alone redlined one.

  • I've always liked the looks of the RX-8, neat to see one in action (well at least the speedo) with Nitrous. I'm way too much of a chicken to put NOS in my car, at least as long as it's my only car. Feel free to check out a video or two of mine, I have an almost-stock 08 Mustang GT. What other modifications have you made to your engine besides the Nitrous? My next step's gonna be a nice throttle body to replace the stock one.

  • Looks cooler in fast n the furious

  • that beeping would make me go insane

  • @Cclebron It becomes addictive actually, I find it only gets annoying on a track when you're staying in the high revs a lot. But when you own one, you end up loving a good old beep.

  • @Cclebron The revs are so smooth you'd be hard pressed to know when to shift at redline if it didn't beep

  • God i love my 8 and anyone who owns one (love in a friendly way not the other way unless your a woman)

  • What kit you have installed? Dry or wet

  • I'm sure you can feel the difference.......We just can't see the difference.

  • I dont really see a difference.

  • My saloon (2011 S4) would still win on a track or the street. But I run autocross and yours would rule there. Except you'd be in the modified category and thus up against harsher competition than me.

    RX-8 is an amazing handling car, but a bit slow. Pity they won't do turbocharged Wankels these days. Also a pity they're a bit ugly, but very aggressive-looking.

  • @TIKIMAN198 your STOCK srt-4 is a Neon, now that's "LOL"!

  • My STOCK srt-4 beats these LOL!

  • @TIKIMAN198 Thats nice. I'm sure a true enthusiasts would prefer an 8 over a srt-4.

  • @TIKIMAN198 Who cares? You're driving an srt-4. I'm sure most enthusiasts would prefer an rx8 over your shitbox w/ a turbo.

  • @ImportDreams500 Remember.. most people that drive stock turbo'd cars say dumb shit like that, "i have a TURBO in my car even though its a stock POS!". Which still adds anywhere between 60-75 HP, bring that engine down to a N/A engine then run it N/A vs N/a, if they tried taking a rx7 twin turbo they'd cry as they watched the 13b 3 rotordrive away.. Just leave the little kiddies alone that dont know the first thing about the basics of cars, and your right, supe up a neon its still a neon..

  • @TIKIMAN198

    Your stock srt-4's a piece of shit!

  • engaging n2o is like a mild boost from a turbocharger... from 230hp stock it might get to 270-280 at higher revs... great difference, but n2o is expensive and needs filling every time

  • Wow they really made that shift beep a lot more tolerable than in the fc...

  • Nice but it's a shame these cars don't have more power. You seem upset with mustang or Z28 owners but these cars can and do handle well and would be miles ahead of you even on a longer track. Short track you'd have a chance.

  • How much is nitro?

  • I should add not all Honda or Mustang owners are douches, it's only the ones that make themselves known and talk shit because they "heard something" or because it's cool to talk shit on a Youtube video, or even because they are flat out jealous. I apologize to the Honda and Mustang owners that don't fit into any category above.

  • @alz0rzz

    Don't forget Beamer-BMW guys...

  • @alz0rzz Hey man, fuck the haters. It's cool that you break the mold and don't buy 'totally original' Honda Civic or Ford Mustang. All be it, those cars are cool in their own right, it's neat to have something unique. Like, the Prelude I'm working on right now. 1988, 4 wheel steering, right hand drive... It's cool. Cheers

  • @alz0rzz Car Enthusiast > Fan Boys ... HANDS DOWN.

  • @alz0rzz im a mustang owner, i would never own a honda, but i LOVED my old RX7, crashed it a while back, but still, hell of a car. rotaries will always be a part of me, im just waiting for the day when i can afford another 1987 Black RX7 Turbo II with a sunroof. i want an exact replica of my old one. right down to the dual borla exhaust and kumho tires<3 see, some of us have respect for the rotary

  • @Brutality110 This was taken 2 years ago. I no longer have this setup on my car. The reason I couldn't go higher then the 65 jettings at the time was due to ignition issues. The ZEX module is not able to adjust ignition timing on the RX8 and the ignition timing needs to be retarded to accommodate higher shots.

  • The amount of ignorant kids on Youtube still astounds me. Just so ya'll know I'm erasing all non-constructive comments. I don't want to hear about your "4 door walking my car" or "the car is still slow" or "the rotary (spell it correctly please) sucks)" or "my honda looks better then your car" etc. because frankly I don't care! You drive a POS Honda or Mustang or W/E and I drive a true sports car (with 4 doors to boot!). Go cry on another videos' comments, not mine. The end.

  • this is fake.... any one that saw car movies that use nitrous know that you can hear a swush sound and the car leaps forward and shakes violently. i would know to cuz im a street racer and use nos

  • @CUZC0M No you aren't a street racer. No street racer in their right mind would call it nos. it's called Nitrous oxide.

  • Wankel engine <3, it even won LeMans and then got banned for its superiority!

  • whatever you do, dont let a gang of japanese guys shoot up your car...

  • all i hope is that this motor is being delivered alot of fuel. too easy to lean out with no2. and have found memories because your motor wont last you more than 4yrs max lol

  • i like it, its simple and drivable and it still looks like alot of fun

  • i really like rx8s they are a bad ass cars the only bad thing is that they are slow no offense. i have a cobalt ss its not the greatest car but its faster than a rx8 and watching this video makes think i cane even beat them when they are spraying

  • @96yogy I test drove an ss, that is a horrible car, you should be ashamed to drive one, let alone compare it to the glorious 8.

  • Looks like a quick Wankel with the NOS! Pity about the mpg and oil on these cars because they look nice and handle well. Problem is, you can get that from a 2 litre Clio for half the running costs. Well, maybe not the RWD fun but everything else!

  • 1-2 sec

    

  • hate the beep had a 2gen and loved everything but the beep and the 150k lifespan on engine

  • did he push the car because i cant tell. it's sad because this car accelerates like shit considering its on nitrous.

  • I dont really notice any difference

  • I didn't even know my car beeped at 8500 until I saw youtube vids.. it's way too quiet considering how loud rotaries are those high revs

  • Lol people that havent ridden in a car with nitrous injection think you can hear a jet of spray and flames come out of the back of the car hahah this isnt need for speed dude

  • @iTzzEuphoriaaaaaa alot of cars you can actually hear the jet, so I dont know what your getting at :P

  • i timed it with a stop watch and u lost .7 second beep to beep on your 3rd gear pull.

  • pooor car

  • NOS? MA VA' VA' AHAHA

  • Do you have the nitrous button on your steering wheel or somewhere else? and how do you know when to use it, i dont want to spray too early when racing. I want nos on my prelude but I am new to it.

  • @Will79601 that sounds kinda dirty hahahaha

  • @kylebucuk it's totally just you.

  • Good video, really shows you how it works in a stock engine,

    Proponer una traducción mejor

  • wow alzors this is sick, -Shinkateen

  • mazda fucked up Rx7 bloodline making this slow car ass rx8...

    No offense..

  • how far do you have to put it in before you hit the beep spot

  • hey u installed ur nitro right? i need help on what nitro system to buy for my 92 camero if u could get back to me that would be great.

  • I think I prefer the beep over the annoying RX7 buzz

  • wow that was slow

  • slow.

  • that rx8 fucking pulled hard with the nitrous

  • cool video ! great info you showing on spray.

  • my only question is why you have a beeper to tell you when to shift .......

  • @ITS4390 all rx7 and rx8 beeps when you red light it... it comes from factory like that

  • @ITS4390 When you have a car that red lines at 8800 RPM, it honestly gets a little confusing on when to know when it's time to shift. I own an RX8, and I wish I had some sort of audible sound to tell me when to shift. You can't always look at the tach....

  • @ITS4390

    Its stock on an 8 so you donthave to look at your tach on a course. its so you can keep your eyes on the next turn

  • @ITS4390 it comes stock with that because its really easy to over rev a rotary cause they are so smooth at high RPMS.

  • @JAMinguitardude1 a rotatry engine is one of the most powerfull engines ever built and can handle a lot of rpms. the reason it has a rpm limiter and a beep spot is durability in the eye.

  • not that much different

  • -BEEP- Shift meeee

  • just a thought... "don't hammer me for this", instead of putting nos, which u will run "sometimes", why don't you buy some performance parts that will permanently raise the power HP/TORQUE of your Vehicle, so that u can always have the accessible at the slightest press of the gas pedal.

  • The beeps are annoying. :(

  • it seems like it only helps with 1st gear

  • what engine???

  • @DrAgOnBoY63 1.3 litre with rotary

  • @DrAgOnBoY63 renesis 3? 1.3litre?

  • @DrAgOnBoY63 13B Renesis

  • @DrAgOnBoY63 It's a rotary.

  • secondo me è un bel discesone......

  • that is a beautiful tach man where did u get it

  • thats the stock tach

  • there factory lol

  • @MaSSWRecKer1 Stock tach! Beautiful indeed!

  • rofl

  • my 8 loves it when I hit her beep spot. :D

  • Seems to be the Cars G-spot :D

    every time the tach reaches the beep-spot it goes crasy ;-)

  • @casemodder89 hahaha

  • lol. Love.

  • @jasonsr3 auto perv

  • :S wankel engine?

    is it safe to put nitrus in wankel engine?

    i mean for the car...

  • No dramas having nitrous on a rotary engine as long as over 3000rpm...

  • i dont know much about cars all i can say is watching the tach is very exciting

  • 4 seconds 20-60mph for both runs.

  • no shit, a bike would smoke any car. my jet would smoke your bike though...

  • That perticular Rx8 needs some intake work and exhaust work free them up youll have a smokin RX8 maybe even some port work then itll open right up

  • No pareciera que nitres en este video

  • aw cute it beeps when u need to shift... lol

  • @bpm03 it beeps if you pass the rpm limiter!

  • @07Pyro False. It beeps before you hit redline, which is 9000, but it beeps at 8500. The rev limiter is at 9500 and when you hit the limiter you feel it...

  • @bpm03 The first time I drove an Rx8 the first beep scared the crap out of me... lol

  • @bpm03 for people who cant judge the time between redline and fuel cut off

  • @bpm03 no actually it beeps to tell you that you hit redline cuz the reving up is so smooth that you literally dont undestand it if you are not paying attention to the rev counter

  • Now I know I can run nitrous in my RX8. It gets tiring hear people talk bad about the rotary. Always talk specs but yet they have never driven one. This is one of the best handling cars ever built and sounds great at high revs. We can always throw a turbo on the engine or upgrade to a 3 rotor and power shoots through the roof. Let them lose out on a great car. Make more vids bro.

  • I have driven one, and yes they have good power at high revs, but there is just no torque down low

  • ahah....

    good job (:

  • szar

  • :10 what happened detonation?

  • uneven pavement.

  • u were using nas and u were only going 85 ?

  • hehe how cute it tells you when to switch gears

  • Ya but get's pretty anoying in the lenght .. trust me :P

  • lol

  • You're dumb.

    There is a reason why you only spray at over 4k rpm. I'll let you figure out why.

    Without accounting for ignition timing retarding I can't do over 65 on the factory tune.

    Don't look like an idiot.

    Idiot.

  • 65 hp jettings translate to about 50 whp.

    therefore i'd say that put me at about 240whp in these videos.

    nitrous is NOT what F&F leads you to believe.. your vision doesn't blur. obviously you can't feel the effect in a video.. but there was definitely is a noticeable bump, particularly from 6k-upwards.

  • They play too much Need for Speed, that's why.

  • hahahahhahahhaahhaa :D

  • @alz0rzz

    True story, 'finding' another 65 FWHP out of the blue will put you in your seat though. There's just nothing like nitrous.

    MY friend is running 100 shot in his totally empty CRX. going from 190hp to 290hp in that little dragster is downright terrifying.

  • @alz0rzz god I know. I have a 50 shot in my eclipse and people expect flames to shoot out and my tires to spin at a 40 roll lol IIiii need a bit more work on my car to do that :p

  • have you tried doing a 100 shot? I'm not familiar with what the rotary can handle as far as nitrous goes.

  • gameplay.... :))=))

  • cazzzo è cambiato?

  • Look in his desription it's only a 65 shot. he doesn't have "enough nitrous in there to blow himSELF up". lol. one of my old buddies had an IS300, it's got a much larger and more capable engine but here's for comparison. Stock he ran a best of 16 flat. after a 75 wet shot and some high performance 275mm rear tires he got a 15.0 on his best run. so it's not like fast and the furious and make your surroundings blurr out with tunnel vision. lol

  • didnt know they beeped. id cut that wire.

  • in that speed nos is not very good but in 110 mph its good !

  • alot more fun than pistons, i guess if you want the torque rating of a mo-ped what are the specs 260hp 160 tq?

  • not to be an ass but that looks slow as shit. is nitrous all you have?

  • the only difference is about 10 mph for top speed so it helped a little bit with acceration how much did you spend in mods? for the nos

  • thats slow! it done 0 to 60 mph in like 5 seconds lol or maybe more

  • lol more like 6.5

  • Had the chance to get an RX8. Got a 99 BMW M3 instead, for less than half the price of the RX8. Couldnt be happier.

    Nitrous seemed to make very little difference btw

  • good choice, my cuz had a 99 328is and it would get around pretty well

  • its a fun little car, much faster than 328, and much faster than RX8 and V6 mustang :D

    of course now ive moved onto an E39 M5, 400hp :O quite a handful, but one hell of a car!

  • na man not raging on ur beamer i know the deal about them, just talking crap about this rx8

  • learning how to shift?

  • rx8 to me is a track car yea its underpowerd a bit but go a hit the curbs 50/50 weight dist... all you "Found On Road Dead"(FORD) lovers stick to doing burnouts in POS moostangs

  • a v6 mustang would trash a rx8, and everyone knows how slow they are.

  • yes they are slow, my 05 v6 mazda6 was faster, but guess what i drive now, an 06 mustang gt,

  • it sounds a bit weird between 8000-9000 rpm, is that from rotary engine or from the mods?

    but anyway this is good

  • i think its a sign that you should shift

  • I can't wait to have an RX8 in Stick. When I have it I will make a sexy time with it.

  • My 5.0 Is Way Faster Than This

    LMAO

  • Sorry I don't want to respond to your post and make you seem like an idiot. But wow you are a fucking idiot.

    Now I assume you are talking about a Mustang 5.0. The motor in my car is a 1.3 liter. 1 point fucking 3 liter. You are comparing that to a 5 liter engine. Are you stupid? Do you know that torque is an element of displacement? Of course you are going to be quicker, retard. Don't embellish in physics.

    You're also going to be the first to rust. Not to mention your car looks like a POS.

  • @alz0rzz I freakin love it when guys get on here talking about how fast there mustangs are haha. I look at it this way, the RX8 destroys in high rpm. Thats what I love about my 7. If i wanted to take off super fast I would just drive my 72 chev around. I prefer my 7 for driving everyday.

  • @alz0rzz amen

  • @alz0rzz agreed that guy is a tool

  • @alz0rzz Formula 1 cars only have a 2.4 liter displacement.

  • @alz0rzz haha nice....perfectly said

  • @alz0rzz mustangs look like SHITT

  • @alz0rzz

    hp is made from torque and rpm and VE. yes torque comes from displacement but your rx 8 can woop ass because of the high rpm's it achieves. now u do have that 1.3 which is baby but with it bored out and with or even just VE increase you can def kick ass. also u can handle torque better than the 5.0 because u have tall gears. u wont lose traction as easily. remember guys power is useless unless it can be transferred to the tarmac. soooo go rx 8 and fuck the mustang which is a drag car

  • @5TAR5CREAMM Yeah, i'd say your about a fucking idiot. Matter of fact if id more than likely laugh in your fucking face if I heard you say that. Obviously you know nothing about how cars work as far as what makes what comparable.

  • @5TAR5CREAMM Your pos mustangs 5.0 only puts out 215hp stock..... The 1.3 in this car stock has 232......

  • @5TAR5CREAMM I would hope so dude, RX8's have very low hp and torque is not even that impressive either as of where, our 5.0s have 225hp and 300lbs-ft tq stock.

  • @adiosk8r91 sad that your 5.0 will not turn well enough to maintain that speed ,while the rx-8 will nonchalantly pass by you as you struggle to turn the "boat"

  • @5TAR5CREAMM To bad they are still gay...except the new ones

  • Why are there so many uninformed people that post on Youtube? Though I should've expected less..

    The RX8 is more then capable. Yes it is underpowered compared to most of what its compared too but then again it is faster then 90% of the shit you see on your daily commute.. and probably better then what you drive.

    That said the RX8 shines everywhere else, if you feel the need to post here and berate it on one aspect you are not a car enthusiast but a hater. Get lost and enjoy your Civic's.

  • Or Malibu's.. haha I can't believe that guy is actually comparing a sports car to a piece of shit.

  • Learn to spell and get out of here if you don't have your facts straight. You are obviously butt hurt about something that you feel the need to post in here repeatedly when NOONE even responds to you.

    Get lost.. enjoy your Malibu ROFL. Yeah, Malibu, keep up, sure, later.

  • without turbos, rx8s are pretty disappointing. I've ridden in RX7 turbos, and those were a lot of fun on the straights or turns, the RX8 just wasn't ballsy enough. Nitrous makes anything better though, so you have the right idea. Amazing cars in the curves though.

    The automatic RX8's are just pitiful, and there is no excuse for it. A stock 1997 accord automatic can keep up with them, and take them off the line (I've done it).

    They are underpowered, but still fun, and certainly interesting.

  • are you kidding? only the rx-8 is like that...my stepdads 1995 rx-7 has shitloads of torque

  • Lame. :D

  • lol still slow

  • thats really cool i dont like the rx8's i prefer the 7's . Beautiful cars they are. Do the rx8's come with turbos :|

  • yea, some gauges even come with a big light indicator for when your rpm is too high

  • whats that anoying beeping sound?

  • its to tell you when to shift.

  • What other mods u got?

  • Rx8 all day! and hes rite a fake!

  • a fake

    no nitrous were sprayed

  • this vid id a fake im mean nitro on renesis? ridiculus

  • u made it to 86 1/2 sec faster wit nitrous

  • Looked slower with the Nitrous. You sure you got this shit hooked up right?

  • i've posted a 14.14 in my rx8 with a 55 shot compared to the fairly consistant 14.8 i was getting without it. it makes a big difference for the money. now with the tune from pettit i'll post more times soon, almost garaunteed in the 13's :)

  • I should mention my entire kit is now for sale on the RX8 forums.. message me here or there.
