now i know both r great cars, but i was just curious about the 0-60 times of the 7 and 8 and im assuming that the 8 has better EPA mileage estimates compared to the old 7's?

 

Do a search you should find what your looking for.

 

The RX-8 can keep up with the FB pretty well.

 

thanx guys, another question, whats the top speed anybody has reached on their 8? (AT or MT)

 

Why does it matter? Plus, like someone pointed out earlier, SEARCH, this question has been asked ad nauseum.

 

0-60 ain't so important but rather how much power you can apply after coming out of a corner for a straight. If the 8 is lighter, it could really keep up with the 7 although the lower torque.

 

0-60 5.9 RX8
155mph top speed

 

hmmmm rx8 = to fast to count!!!!

 

Here are the specs for a 1993 RX-7 Manual.

0 to 60mph = 5.3sec
1/4mile = 14.1 @99.9Mph
Lateral G = .98

255Hp @6500rpm
217lb-ft@5000rpm

 

5.3...*drool*

 

ive raped every rx8 ive come across... by a mile. and last time i checked the 7 was a lot lighter than the 8.

dont get me wrong i like 8's, but its just no contest when it comes to preformance. i think there was a person on the rx7fourms that did like 187mph on a modded FD or something crazy like that. i know many have gone 170+ but im not exactly sure whos actually gone the fastest. the speedo is only 180mph on an FD.

 

*yawns*

 

how much power did the evo make in 93?

 

The Evo II had 252hp, and it did 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Any other questions?

 

If I may quote Ike....

*yawn*

I'm SO happy for you, Jehu. You're my friggin' idol. I LOVE YOU MAN.

 

Come on, 5.3, that's Z terroritory and would be great if the 8 could do that

 

Actually, the evo 2 was brought out early 1994. In 93, the evo had 243hp........less then the 7......ahahahahahha.


btw....It was slower then the 7 also..

 

Wow what I could type to your posts in this thread

 

are we talking stock rx-7s here? most 7s on the street have been modified in some way...

 

The Evo II debuted in Dec. of 1993 in Japan and was consider MY03.

P.S The Evo I still did 0-60 in under 5 seconds.

 

I guess we'll never know...

 

Oh ya 2003 eh!!!!!!

P.S. evo 1 did 5.1 0-60 but only a 14 second quarter<-------

p.p.s. 7>evo/sti/srt4/..................just ask vin deisel if you don't believe me.

 

From some british car mag...

Mitsubishi Lander Evo I 0-60 = 4.95 1/4 mile = 13.7 Trap speed = 100.53
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo II 0-60 = 4.78 1/4 mile = 13.52 Trap speed = 102.04

c'mon we both know gtecs arn't reliable.

first off it lists the evos power at 250????hmmmm why 250 hp when the real specs are 243-244.

Let's see some real slips?


Anyways, the 7 is faster
