OK, I see lots of Dyno numbers, but who has made a good 0-60 with a Greddy?

DreRX8

Well they vary--but my best guess is 0-60 in about 5.2-5.5 for an out of the box un-optimized setup to a mid 4 second pass in ole buddy's 310 whp setup.

I've been meaning to measure some stats with my Gtech Pro RR. I'll see if I can do it tonight or tomorrow.

silverx8

Just the facts please. After a disappointing magazine presentation, I want to see a Greddy car perform for real.

MadDog

I'm faser than a stock 2006 STi in the 0-60. I don't know the exact numbers, but that's a reference point. I think published 0-60 for them is 5.3sec. I's say that's a GReddy kit "performing for real".

DreRX8

STI published times are like 4.9 but they are actually 4.7ish. So your sh*t is fast.

Moostafa29

Yeah, I don't see how those of us who are tuned wouldn't be in the mid 4 sec range, just given that we are faster than say an M3, STI, EVO, or GTO.

rkostolni

Well I tried to get in a few Gtech runs tonight, but it was too cold. I couldn't get traction in first and was still spinning some in second. I need some new tires. The best time I could get with a very light launch, spinning in first and second and a horrible 1-2 shift on my part (0.9 seconds), I pulled off a 5.5second run. I only did one since I didn't see any point to doing anymore. I'll try again tomorrow afternoon when its warmer.

Moostafa29

I found out today that tires make a HUGE difference. I definitely recommend them to get the most out of the turbo.

MadDog

^Yep. With the stock tires I was spinning all the way through second gear, too. Wider KDW2's actually lock-up and put the power down. Plus, they look cool as hell!

silverx8

Thanks for the enthusiasm, keep it up!

I have 5.5 sec as the best yet.

Moostafa29

Yeah, I just got the 615 Azenis in 255, and they are stick as hell. Super impressed, and highly recommended.

rkostolni

By the way, just for reference. I ran a low 7sec 0-60 before the turbo. Once in a while I could get a high 6.

toca

i have the 615st falken 275 rears and i can drop my na set at 8 k a still grip like no other

Hybrid-RX8

I'd love to do a GTECH run but the weather is still cold here........ 310whp ..with 275's in the rear... hopefully in the next few weeks I'll see what she can do.

LiL BenNy

hmm i dunno about the new 06sti's but im pretty sure the do 0-60 in 4.6...... and supposively we run 0-60 stock.. so how do we lose over 1.5 seconds but the 1/4 mile times barely change from what slips ive seen... or am i mistaken?

YaXMaN

You kinda stepped on my nutz there a little, Moostafa. I had an 04 RX8 and traded it for an 05 GTO to get the straight line performance. As much as you want to think the greddy RX8's are capable of a mid 4 second 0-60, it just aint gonna happen, man. Adrian, who lives here in central TX, is quoting a best time in the quarter of 13.1 seconds, and he's running drag radials. That's the best quarter mile time I've seen for a Greddy RX8 (show me a better one), and kudos to Adrian for pulling it off, because a low thirteen is not easy to do without practice and skill. A 13.1 translates to high 4 second 0-60. No way you're going to do that on the street, and you're not going to do that at the track without drag radials.

BTW, bone stock GTO's are running 12.9's, and if you add drag radials, they're running 12.5's. THAT translates to a mid 4 second 0-60.

FlyingLeggs

I've got to agree with the goat owner. And breaking 5 with 3k lbs and 300 or less hp is not an easy task. Much less on the street. I'm not saying it's not possible. But you are going to need the Interceptor, drag radials, drop some fat, and get on a sticky track.

MadDog

There's a big difference to between drag slips and street races. We are talikng about street races. I have no doubt that I cannot run as fast at a drag strip as a professtional driver can with my car. I also have no doubt that a guy in as stock '06 STi with about the same driving skill as me will loose to me in a street race. I'm sure that both of us would be slower in a 0-60 time than a professional, or at least skilled, driver. But given the fact that I kill a couple of these a week, its not a far stretch to say that if a skilled driver gets under 5 secs with an STi, then that same driver would get a better time in my car. Incedentally, when people quote 0-60 and 1/4 mile times they are almost always quoting a result other than their own.

Incidentally, what have YOU run at the track with your hulking new 10 tons of American pride?

FlyingLeggs

Also someone mentioned running high six and low seven stock 0-60 times. I know we can do better than that boys. Until this Friday I'm running a bone stock 8 with the original Blowtenza's @ 23k miles. I ran a 6.1 on the street with no "stick um" on the road and no burn out. I have the Gtech to prove it. My 60ft was a 2.35 and I have run better (2.13) on a strip with some super sticky stuff on the track ( but no GTech, so no 0-60).
Bottom line: bone stock we should be able to run 6 on the street and 5.8 on a track. If you can get a Greddy or other F/I and some other mods to get you to 300 whp, and you know how to use it, then the high 4's are attainable. Oh yeah 275 street or 245 drag radials are a must.
Keep pushing and keep posting. I need to be motivated to get F/I.

MadDog

BTW, from http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html
2006 STi, 4.5sec 0-60, 13.0 1/4 mile
LS1 GT0 5.3sec. 0-60, 13.8 1/4 mile
C&D Jan 2005 in an LS2 GTO - 4.8sec 0-60, 13.3 1/4 mile

DreRX8

310 wheel horsepower will get an RX8 to 60 in well under 5 seconds with the proper rubber and skill.

rkostolni

I don't know What you guys are talking about. I ran a 5.5s 0-60 with no launch, no traction, and a HORRIBLE 0.9 second 1-2nd shift all measured with a Gtech PRO RR. Once I hook up and do a halfway decent pull mid 4's should be perfectly achievable.

Hell if you just subtract out my horrible shift time then my time would be mid 4's.

blksf8

did he really step on your nutz or just tug on the back of your mullet? You've got less than 10 posts and are coming at a well respected forum member. This guy dynoed at least 240 on a mustang dyno which would easily be 270+ on a dynomeater. Now he's got a free flowing 3" exhaust and will be further tuning his car. It's pretty much safe to say that he'll be over 300whp very soon. He also did mention that he swapped out his stock potenzas for Falken Azenis RT615 255s. Why don't you go drag your car and post your times to back up your claims. Just make sure to trailer it back home since I don't think it has the ability to turn. We'll get Moostafa on the track too soon, he'll post his results, and we can compare time slips. sound like a plan?

Wow, I dont think i could have said it better.
