A mildly prepped RX8 is wicked fast on the track.

IMHO take a long hard look at Paradoxical's build. He has really put in the time and effort sorting the X1 for serious open track duty.
Yeah, I rode in a RX8 with Toyo R888 tires that would pull about 1.2 side G's.

The OP said he wanted a car to drive on street, and just improve slightly.

Anyone can throw money at the RX8, X1, or any other car and get more.

I got my RX8 to handle in a neutral manner with a good alignment, and I've held off Cobra Mustangs with 500 hp, etc. , because he had trouble applying the power on a bumpy track.

It's a fun car, but so is my X1 s28i, and a STOCK GT RX8 can hold me off on the corner, but as soon as I get a straight I'll get around.

There's just that much more power in the BMW X1.

If I'm up against a turbo RX8, well he'll stay in front.
