Yeah, I had some very brief fun with a younger kid in an RX8 about 2 weeks ago; I say very brief fun b/c like the OP's encounter, my "spirited driving" also only lasted about 20 sec. when I got ~ 1/4 mi. ahead of him (and yes, he was going full steam)...those RX8's might be light and great in the twisties, but they've got no TQ whatsoever.
