Just wondering if any of you guys in Japan have come across any dyno results that were done locally for the RX-8?
What were the results like? Hopefully much better than the ones obtained from those few cars dynoed in the States! Thanks in advance!
Hehheeh ... Fab 8 getting worried ah? :D

Just a little bit...
But if the car can do 5.9 secs, not too worried abt performance. Only bragging rights :D

Only the pre-production cars did 5.9 secs. Nobody has instrumented figures for the production cars yet. One guy tried an 8000rpm launch measured with a G-tech and got 6.6.

6.6s is not so hot.
Where are my ponies?
Hercules claims around 6 secs for 0-60 (however he was using a manual chrono ie watch)

More info - the car was not broken in (500 miles) and had two people in it, so not too shabby. He got the same results with a 4000rpm launch as well (had DSC off at all times).
