What do you guys think. I found a good 5 speed deal.

 

The RX8 didn't come with a 5 Speed option.

 

what the ****. that means its either a 6 speed or there bull shitting me and its an AT.

 

Im 99.99% sure that the AT is a 4 speed.

 

Europe came with a 5 speed manual option. Where are you located?

 

Ah...thanks dshiznit. Could also be a problem with the website selling it not having an option for a 6spd. *shrug*

 

its on craigslist and i live in washington. if it really is a 5 speed how would performance be affected?

 

im assuming lower redline and less horse. but is there any positives?

 

5 Speed = 192 Version .. This has more torque then the 231 but has a lower 0.60 and lower top speed i think its o.60 is about 7.2 Also it only revs too 7k or 8k
6 Speed = 231 Version .. Faster but less torque 0.60 about 6.4

 

hrmm...anyone know if the 192 might have been sold in Canada?

 

Nope, only in Europe and other places. I think it's sold everywhere else except for North america... Could be wrong, but I do know it's not in Canada or USA and is sold in Europe.

 

fiixed

but really they the seller is an idiot, try and buy it for really cheep b/c he obviously doesnt now what hes doing

 

Fail... unlesss you were joking about the 0-60 thing. Many ppl can get to 7.4 seconds by granny shifting and a very soft launch.

 

yea thats what I said

 

what's granny shifting, and what do you consider a hard launch?

 

Shifting leisurely/not shifting at 10k, a hard launch is dropping the clutch at ~7,8k

 

i was taught to feather at 4k with shifting when i hear the beep....10k? i thought our cars stopped revving at 9.3 or 9.5. after that they get really inefficient and its faster to shift then than at 10k. i didnt even know we could hit 10k. (i know rotaries love to rev and can rev, jus thought they were limited)

but ty for clarifying!
