Seriously though getting in to the 13's N/A won't be easy. Light wheels, slicks ,NOS, light flywheel, different final drive, all of the bolt ons(intake, header, exhaust, test pipe, underdriven pullies, short shifter), tuning, tuning, more tuning and extensive weight reduction and maybe you'll be able to do it.........maybe

Ask Charles R Hill

I think you can do a 13.9 with nitrous.

You will have to remove everything in the car. Seats radio glove box etc.

Dude, You've been making these kind of thread for the past 3 days.

a Simple Search can get u the answer within like 10 seconds. Is it really that hard to do so ?

14.5 @ 95.6 Mph

(I think I post this once a week)

xsnipersgox 03-18-2008 03:27 PM

google the folllwing..

site:rx8club.com 1/4 mile time


i think we should sticky the google method, it works better than the forum search engine.

nycgps 03-18-2008 03:27 PM

He asked the same question in another post.

Seriously, I think its much faster to *just search* than *Start a thread, type in all the crap, and wait*

xsnipersgox 03-18-2008 03:46 PM

ya.. u and ur forum troll postings...

ya u can run 13's.. take off everything down to the metal, strap a sparco seat, light wheels, light grip tires(warmed up), 1/4 gas tank, no unecessary fluids. all bolt ons, CF parts on everything, loose weight, ECU tuning. i am talking out of my ass but i am sure if u do all these perhaps u can make it? XD

Spinning Sushi 03-18-2008 03:47 PM

13's? Sell your car and buy an SRT-4.

nelsonrx8 03-18-2008 03:58 PM

should sell the 8 to much money for little hp

imput1234 03-18-2008 04:01 PM

Like what everyone else says nitrous will be the easiest route.

halimsteven 03-18-2008 07:58 PM

go down the hill, with a straight road, you will be able to make it low 13's...for a 1/4 miles (stock engine), otherwise, go for FI or NOS, that's what i have read in this forum....

...that was great:lol:

Fanman 03-18-2008 08:19 PM

Put a 55 shot Zex nitrous kit in and you will be in the 13's. Or strap every NA mod out there and you will still be running in the 14's.

FloppinNachos 03-18-2008 08:28 PM

do people really buy RX-8s for out of the box drag racing?

Buy another car.

FloppinNachos 03-18-2008 10:33 PM

I don't think it'd be impossible if they're running 14.5sec stock. High-flow panel filter, no cat and a Cobb AP, should get you .6sec, i don't know about drag racing though really. That mod combo, the Triple Threat, can add up to 15hp.

... not even close.

FloppinNachos 03-18-2008 10:41 PM

15hp isn't worth .6 seconds?

15hp is what MazdaManiac is claiming can be achieved.
