I'm sure a little searching can answer that question.

Thanks I found on the internet that an 08 rx8 does it in 7.5 sounded slow to what I had seen for the older models that is why I was asking.

7.5? maybe the automatics.

the base model weighs the least, the sport weighs a bit more, and the grand touring weighs 100lbs (afaik) more than the base.

I think it depends on how much you want to smoke your clutch and how good you are at launching a car where everything happens at high revs

Traction control off, rev to 5k, feather clutch and add power it takes some practice but the car can chirp/squeal away and get up to speed quickly

0-60 in the mid 6's or lower depending on skill and how mesquite you want to make your mazda

I've seen 0-60's from 5.8-6.5 sec. R&T attachment says 5.9 sec.
Curb weights I've seen from 3029-3053lbs. R&T attachment says 3000lbs.
