I bet you missed the torque. I had a modded 3rd Gen Rx7tt that was way faster than a stock RX8(na) and it felt like it didn't have ANY low-end torque. It kinda sucked around town and didn't really wake up until it the rpms were well above 4k.

As a Mercedes engineer said years ago,
"You advertise horsepower, but you DRIVE torque."
