Why would the RX8 and the Z be fairly even on a track? Is there something I didn't know about the RX8's handling?

RX-8's handling is very balanced. The car has a perfect 50/50 weight dist. and has neutral body roll. BTW all Z's come with the same F and R suspension. The only thing track has are brembos, lightweight rims, and rear underbody diffusers. But in a straight line any Z will smoke a RX8 and also on the track because the Z has more power and torque. You need to keep the RX8 revving high to have fun with it where as the Z has instant wheel spinning torque and has a better power band. Plus Z's look wayyy better.

I have had one person at my school who thinks he knows about every import tell me that the track Z was turboed because there was no way a nissan v6 could have 300hp 
. Then tell me the track package had less horsepower so it good for the track . But all I do is give them the brochure that has all the packages that tells about each one then I wait for o you were right.
