Yeah i believe - with similar mods my 8 was a lot quicker than any stock 8s . I was also trapping around 100mph with my taller 3rd gear JDM g/box - it does make quite a difference not having to make that last shift ....

 

cflrx8 i had my girl record your run as well as mine. As soon as she gives it to me ill host them up somewhere.

 

What were you racing? That was a close race!

 

Honda Civic



.....sorry, couldn't resist

 

lol no it was a mustang gt

 

no i don't think so i haven't met many 8 owners... my car is black

hopefully its not the last run of the night, it wasn't so good

 

I'm glad I'm seeing some good numbers out of rx8's. I was beginning to lose hope. Everyone I've seen lay down times in rx8's have all been in the mid to high 15's. I haven't gotten a weekend off in almost two years to take my own car to the track and see what I could do with it, though.

Definitely congrats. That is definitely respectable time or sure.

 

Congrats! How much of a diff do u think an AP would have made here?

 

Ah, I need to get all my stuff on by summer. Hopefully I can beat that without my nitrous :D

 

Any plans on making dyno... interested to see what kind of power is it making ?
Cold temperature does help a lot (if u go from 80 to 60 degrees) ... my best trap was 99.61 mph so far, but 60' killing me!

 

Where was this at???? Bithlo????

 

amazing time and i have faith in you that you can hit 13's

 

Nice time! Hope you go back, I wanna see a 13 second run from an 8!

 

my guess it was bithlo. btw, not having to make that extra shift helps a lot!!!

beers

 

i wonder if raising my redline to 10k rpm would let me get past the finish line. 9.5k is seriously less than 100 feet.

thoughts?

it would be diminishing returns though, wouldnt it? as my car got faster it would work less and less. eventually i'd have to set it back to 9.5k and then take a hit in time with shifting if i wanted to advance any more.
