Yes, i'm fully aware of that little car, and i personally know both Scott and Gary.
However, what that little blurb does not say, is that while the car broke the GT1 record, the winner for the day was a stockish mustang.
It is a very well written but one sided article that does not tell the whole story.
Also, that RX8 is modded to hell and back, stripped interior, coils, wing, carbon fiber parts, engine is tuned....
Also of note is the driver, Scott has been racing for pretty much his entire life, so if anything he squeezed the most possible potential out of it based on his knowledge of Mosport. The actual owner of the car was a good 4-4.5 seconds behind both days, thats HUGE
