Much rather pull back boost a bit I can out drive the short stuff but can't out drive pure speed on straight? Thanks
It does not. The Rx8 is locked into D2 dual mode which doesn't offer "timing boost" or "turbo" but does offer "timing advance" which is similar but different since it's based off of motor commutation input, not the motors sensors.
