), anyways, against the rx8, rsx-s, rx7, supra, evo, wrx, STi, ralliart, sI, specV and Cobalt SS and plenty more, the srt4 will be left behind on the track

I don't know what your background is, but SRT-4s are pretty damn fcuken fast.
I got passed by a HPDE 4 driver at Willow Springs going around the carosel(turn 4 and 5) on the the outside
. I was shocked by what happened. It had a Mopar coilover kit, Mopar Stage 2 or 3 kit, and cage.

I never thought of the RX-8 as a slow car. If I thought the RX-8 was a slow car. Then a Integra Type R would be a slow car, RSX Type S was be a slow car, i would even consider a 350 Z a slow car which ins't much faster, and even s2000 a slow car. RX-8 does low 14s 350z does high 13s. RX-8 rear wheel drive, LSD , front engine.
If those are slow cars for you, maybe you should be looking into more expensive cars like ferraris and lamborghinis.

AEM short ram intake, Type-R pistons, Type-R rods, 3 angle valve job, Type-R valve springs, decked block, balanced internals, bored and honed block, polished crankshaft, portflow titanium retainers.
P.S. Does anyone know what the car might run at the track and how much horsepower its putting to the wheels just like a estimate.

bored? ... how much is it bored? ... and is he on stock cams? ... that would be rather surprising if he is...
