note, as the poster said...these times are HYPOTHETICAL... My real interest is that my vehicle is automatic as well....we still do not have an answer

 

I certainly can read '350zj'. Its alot more than what has been previously
posted.

 

Hey 350zj......take your pick

And don't let the door hit you in the *** on the way out!!!

 

Thanks for the invite...but I already have seen the posted times for the automatic 350z...

 

Thanks for the info. . I was out this weekend with a stopwatch and a passenger trying to arrive at a 0 - 60 times.

I used the manual feature to get the extra 500 rpms before shifting. I found that if in full auto it will shift at 7,000.

No Brake Rev.

8.1 (air was on)
7.5
7.6
7.9

3,000 RPM Rev. (I have never done this before.)
7.6
7.2
7.4

The method used to arrive at these times is definitely crude but certainly in line with the results Haris posted.
I hope to find a stretch of road to measure off the 1/4. I will post my times when I do but they will be with the same crudeness.

 

Finally, mlpc... you are a credit to your kind

 

Hi 350zj,

I believe that the vast majority of the 6-speed RX-8 owners didn't buy the RX-8 to drag race. The owners who do go to the track once in awhile would most likely not have bought the automatic.

Although we may yet get a post with some auto 1/4 mile times, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting. This auto RX-8 isn't the type of car where you will see the 1/4 mile #s all over the place.

Your right, I don't think you will see too many auto's at the track. I was just really curious, as I am sure most AT owners are, what is the effect of 38 fewer HP.

 

buger, your comments are misdirected at me... The ORIGINAL poster that owns Mazda RX-8 automatic wanted this information.... mlpc was also curious.... I am interested in this thread because I have an automatic....

I dont see what all the fuss is...I just wanted the thread to get back on track...and guess what....thanks to mlpc it did.

 

I think you guys mightget the 0to60 down to 7 seconds w/ the 3000rpm rev method. Iam impressed!

 

I think auto transmission should be able to get to low to mid 15s if you just keep trying and trying and getting best results from those 3-4K RPM launches. All those 39 extra HP in 6 speed would probably get car from 14.5-15s. So auto shouldnt be much behind.

 

back to could would and should, I could would and should have known

 

What is your best time on your Z when it was stock? Considering it's an auto, it should be 14.5-15 sec?

 

I dont know what mine does..the track I want to go to only has open times on this tues, wed, fri..... I'm not gonna go on a Fri... and tues/wed are Chicago Cubs nights....(my clinch on tues) Maybe I'll go Wed. But again the thread isnt about 350z times.... please only post on this thread if you have ACTUAL auto rx8 times....This is what the original poster wanted..this is what another poster with an automatic wanted...this is what I want...jesus

 

AT 350z's are running 14.1-14.4@98-99mph.. The trap speed is a bit lower for the ATs.. The worst AT 350z timeslip I ever seen was a 14.5@97 and I am pretty sure it was at an altitude
