And my point is you want fair... you talk about the same chassis, what about the same engine size?
Same engine size is irrelevant as that the changes the characteristics of the engines and adds too many variables to the comparison.

No, but if it did it wouldn't double the capacity. My Alfa however was a twin plug engine.

and a harley 88 cube engine is 2860cc, or my BOSS is 10.7L. Go home little boy, you are making a fool of yourself.
Don't need to plugs per cylinder, produces more power off 1

You show me the link where Mazda gives details of the towing capacity of the RX8!
For the love of god, grow up! Or head off to www.ricer.com or something for the support you want, you will not get it here.
This is a ford forum, with many that grew up on , and love V8's, read the banner at the top if you forget.

I think someone needs a holiday!
