0-400m
Hi guys i'm rather confused with the 0-400m timing. Can anyone tell me what is the 0.400m timing for RX8?
When i watch the Best Motoring, they drove it like 15'+
But i Australia Wheels magazine is 14'8''
why is that?
Cheers

0-400 is the 1/4 mile
if you can think back to your highschool days, if your out of hs that is, its one lap around the outdoor track

POOman, he's an Aussie, I'm sure he's pretty familiar with the metric system. However feet and inches seem to be a bit of an issue. By 14'8" I'm guessing you don't really mean 14.8 seconds.
Each publication will get different times, since there are different drivers, different conditions, and sometimes a variance between cars. It's that way with every car, it's nothing new. Just figure the car to be anywhere between 14.5 and 15.2 or so if it's really something that is important to you.

Don't know if anyone still cares.... but I cam back from the bookstore today and pulled some data off JDM publications on the RX-8.
Drivers Magazine, 06/20/03
RX8 Type S (250hp 6MT) RX-8 Type E (210hp 4AT)
0-100km ---------6.83------------9.10--------
0-400m ----------14.9-----------16.55--------
Raw data is not that useful by itself, so I pulled another magazine to put these numbers in perspective.
CG (Car Graphics) 06/03
---------RX-8 Type S--------G35C*--------350Z Touring*
0-100km -------6.5----------6.6-----------6.3------------
0-400m --------14.6--------14.6----------14.4-----------
Not to shabby~

So you're saying that 14'8" could in fact translate into 14.8 seconds???
