On a dyno or on the street and how long did those boxes last? I've seen well driven RX8's go at much less than that. You never did quote the torque numbers on either either. I could care less about horsepower. 700hp at 10 grand is only 350ftlbs of torque. That's right at the outerlimit of a MB 6 speed as it stands. I do know that high horsepower RX8 guys commonly go to the much stronger RX7 box. I'm not sure the torque numbers on the Honda box, but it's light, and Honda's don't exactly produce torque. If you happen to know any of the M104's that are high revving, low torque, high strung little things, you let me know.
