Although, the differing ability of the drivers is questionable, you can definetly tell that the RX8 has it where it counts when it comes to the corners.

After watching the second video...the RX-7 owner looks like he's having an easier go of it...but I'm not quite sure if he's as good a driver as the RX-8 driver. The RX8 driver is really getting on it. It's obvious the RX7 driver is not getting on it in the straightaways, otherwise he would have been on the RX8's azz. I wish it had sound so I could tell how far he's pushing it.

:werd: sil... but the 8 is definately no joke.... handles like a dream from what we've seen so far :drool:

From what I can see in the vids. The 8 is better in the twisties but you can see the 7 just pulls away on the straight roads.
