Your 5 speed seems every bit as fast as any 6 speed - have you run with any ?

0-400m in 14,6sec (1/4mile in 14,67sec)
I was disappointed with the results, but because of the low temperature, I couldn't do any better...

Check the video.....!!!

I really like the location of the camera in that vid. What are you using to mount it?

No I've never run with a high power RX8 6mt....
But I did run with a stock standard power 5mt and the result was terrible for the stock...
Keep in mind that, that day (Greek summer) I timed my car with results 6,7s and 14,9s (awfull)...
Also there is a little problem with the video...
The sound comes after the video... I mean that first you watch and after you hear the sound of image....
Check the launch.... The cars launches, starts accelarating and after a few meters you can hear the sound of the engine before launcing at top rpm...
I'm telling you that because at the end of the race, seems like the stock rx8 catching up...
NEVER.....!!!

Well the trap speed for the 1/4 of a mile is 96,93mph (156kmh).....
I think the results are great considering of a standard power RX8....

Yes, the std power RX8 (4 port) has 192fhp at 7000rpm, top at 7800rpm with almost 23kg torque at 5000rpm, with a 5mt.....
Well the 5mt is awfull.....
And I'm talking about the 4th gear... At 7800rpm, the car has almost 210kmh (130,48mph)......
