Yeah, your heavy, understeering mommy mobile is better on the track than one of the best handling sports cars made in the last 10 years.
I got the s28i, and I have a RX8 which I've both tracked. Do any of you have both to compare?

Yeah, the X1 is 700# heavier, but has 258# torque vs RX8 with claimed 159#.

The RX8 is very smooth, balanced, and easy to drive, but you have to drive like a go Kart to not lose speed on a curvy short track.

You can drive the X1 sloppy, and use power to make it look good.

My X1 will top out about 120 mph on a track that the RX8 will get about 110.

I said the X1 was the best car for me on a track, and I own a RX8; don't change my words and complain.

If you don't know what you're talking about hold your insults.
