Anyone have a source where Mazda has published 0-60 times?
I was thinking, whilst on the can, about drag racing. I started to think about if something happened to the drive train while doing that. It occurred to me that Mazda 'may' have published the RX8's capabilities at some point. Thus, if Mazda shows the car can do 0-60 in, say, 6 second flat, and I attempt to run 0-60 in 6 seconds (think 7K rpm launch), the car should be able to handle it - under warranty.
Right?
Right?

Road and Track's performance table at the back of each issue says 6.0 seconds. I've seen a low of 5.9 and a high of 6.6. The 6.6 I read today in an online magazine at the Edmunds.com site.

My little birdie told me today that there is a court battle in California concerning this. Some owner has challenged the fact that the advertising says the car can do it, but he is trashing trannies trying. I wonder where he read it?
