Those w/ the 197hp engine, here's some info I found
The UK test rates the 197hp engine (theirs is 192ps) as having achieved 6.9 seconds 0-60mph. Check attached pic. This is the first time I saw the 190+ hp rotary engine hitting below 7.

Europeans think driving an Auto is for pussies (DO NOT start a flame war on this one...if you want a manual all power to yah I'm just stating why they don't have an auto option like here)

Stuck in a love triangle
ayap usuallyI dont take sides w/trolls like Ike but in this case I have readsome of the bullshit you have been writing in other posts regarding the auto Rx8 and you are clearly just being a stubborn fool.
Its easily understandable why people are able to get to 60 in 6.9 seconds w/the 197hp engine in the UK: they can obviously drop the CLUTCH @ 7000 RPM when launching w/their MANUAL transmissions.
Even if youwere to perform a neutral slam w/the automatic from 7000 RPM you stillwouldnt come close to 6.9 seconds. Infact you do that enough timesyoull eventually screw up yourentire tranny.
I really dontunderstand whatyour obsession is w/trying to prove that the automatic is fast. It washard for me at first butnow that Ive owned my automatic for over a year Ive acceptedthe simple fact that ourautomatics are not fast at all -- andthe only time you could ever hope to take the WRX that Ike owns is while his car is turned off at a parking lot. Ifyou care so muchabout having a fast dragster youshouldnt have bought an Rx8 in the first place - let alone in automatic.

Did he really say he was a NASCAR driver or am I hallucinating. Wow. No further comments from me.
BTW, I am really a famous rally driver with video games named after me. I can go faster than you all with my work truck. Cause I got mad skills, yo.

Northern Antilles Squid and Crab Abuse Representatives driver.. that's all he meant!
Whether they stand up for the critters or are the ones abusing them is my question. Their trucks have turbos too.

I couldn't think of what to say, so I'm just responding so it's easier for me to keep track of this thread...it is too funny to ignore.

beat it kid. I'm a soap box derby driver and you're not. Hows does this relate to shifting your automatic faster than the next guy?
