best 0-60 times?
i was wondering what you guys have run... indicate whether stock or modded.
i got a 6.4 0-60 with a 2.25 60ft timei only did 3 runs, and even that best time i couldn't shift into second as quick as i wanted to b/c of those darned syncros and what are the best shift points for the 8? |
and what are the best shift points for the 8? |
I posted this somewhere before but I'll go ahead and say it again...
In a magazine of road and track review of a porduction RX-8, under the special notes they stated that best launches were performed when disengaging the clutch at 7000 rpm. I'll post a quote and backup my info with issue number and all that... I don't know if I'd want to be putting that much wearing on the clutch though... I mean... 7000rpm! crazy! |
How did you measure your 0 to 60?

i cant replace a cltuch every 3 months... |
I've dropped the clutch a couple times at about 4000-6000 RPMs. I Dropped it at about 7000 once and got nothing but wheelspin. I guess there is a sweet spot to hit. I don't have an accurate way to measure 0-60, so I can't really say how long it took. It didn't take long though, I'd imagine roughly 6 seconds. Then again I don't drag often, so I'm inexperienced.

My best is 6.95 seconds as measured by a G-timer device.
I did not rev the engine at takeoff--normal start. No wheel spin. DSC off. The car lags badly at first without wheelspin and doesn't start to pull hard until revs hit 5000 or so. I was pretty impressed that it still got under 7 seconds under those conditions. |
