No comparison Polish. The L's low-end torque would make mince-meat of the rx-8. But expressway speed would be a different story. If your stock I think you'll have trouble because I just got enough break in miles to get on it and over 50 & you have so many gear choices and it pulls so hard from 4000 to 9000 redline. Not to mention aerodynamics. But if your well modded it might be ok. I'd be cafeul over 80 though. My truck had a chip, pulley & intake and this rx still pulls harder that it did over 80. But at a light you have NO worries.
