No way. Just compare the "Performance Stats" tables for this and for the Mazda RX8. O T H. . . ...the difference is not that large, and this car can be your provisional king for D-class TLEs. And... ...it takes a shorter eternity to gather 68 V8 engines than it takes to get the 4 rotary ones the RX8 demands to be crowned.

Important: prioritize suspension and exhaust over tires and transmission. Bumping the tuning from
 * 0000 to 0A0A adds 42.8 km/h to total speed (top speed + nitro, with TK), whereas
 * 0000 to A0A0 adds 14.7 km/h (tsk tsk).

See? I just saved 34 engines for you...
