Alright I finally timed a 0-60 run in my AT 2007 8 so here it is.

BTW it is completely stock and this is no launch (not that you can really launch in an AT) and me driving with 1 hand holding the camera and the other shifting.

Next time I will get a passenger to record it.

When I used a stopwatch to time it I think it measures in around 7.2 seconds (starting the time when the Tachometer starts to move, the first 1-2 mph are me letting my foot off of the brake).

 

I waas gonna watch it; but I don't have that kind of free time.....










- I keed I keed.

 

id say around 7.8-8.3

 

lol ouch

 

yours is probably more accurate mine might be biased
ty

 

lol...biased...btw i edited my post to say7.8-8.3.....rofl

 

Yeah I would kill myself clutching on the hills of SF.. been there a few times (not in the 8). I however have to deal with the shitty traffic associated with new york city streets.. I have no problem whatsoever driving a manual transmission car in stop and go traffic. No excuse.

 

the longest ihad with my stopwatch was 7.7 so no thanks lol

 

^nice^...

 

the new 6port 6speed AT seems way quicker than the 4port ..... based on that video .

 

ive heard that before too, i havn't seen the old 4 port in person though

 

anyone have a manual rx-8 stock 0-60 posted anywhere?

not 4 speed, 4 port

meh that is what i meant but i saw a video of a guy in colorado with a 4 port at and it was slow

 

i clocked that around 6.5 seconds
i think the only difference is the launch

is that stock?

 

i just timed it with my video editing software and its 6.15-6.19....theres a small room for error but its pretty much 6.1

 

i got a midpipe...and a pulley....and my synchros are like brick walls lol

 

why, he only beats you by half a bus length instead of the full bus he was expecting to?

 

Dude im sorry but comparing an auto to a manual is fail. Admit it , you wouldn't even consider an auto if you werent a lazy old fart , i drive through traffic all the time and its not that its a PIA its more like , wow poor clutch . Of course its a different story when you're talking about an m3 sequential manual gear box with the paddle shifters lol.

 

auto vs. manual thread number 10o498753i230482347fluxcapacitor248720 ^ pi

 

I disagree, aside from the obvious difference in power, theyre the same car, same handling capabilities, etc.

 

actually thats exactly right.....lol....im not kidding..... hit the nail on the head! maybe......with my race pipe and exhaust...10-15 hp.....ill be only 1/4 bus length or right next to him!!!

 

LOL that's awesome!!! my friend with an auto RX8 suffers the exact same defeat... i figured it would be right around there :==
