Can anyone tell me the 0-100 mph time for the 230bhp manual rx8?

 

With most of us reporting stock e.t.'s of 15.1@90 mph, or so, we can probably expect times of the high 17's in the 0-100 measurement.

dont ask...lol

 

230 bhp.. LOL.

I wish.

 

Autocar in the UK does the 0-100-0 test every year. This year the 8 (Europe spec of course) was in too.

I don't have the magazine now with me to check, but I remember doing 6.68secs to 60mph, about 16.8secs to 100mph and about 4.2secs to stop. Overall above 21secs. Clutch was released at 5000rpm.

Personally, I think the run SUCKED. Even the Civic Type-R run sub-21 and the clutch should've been released at higher rpm...

 

I have a recent EVO (Seot. issue) and they have a 0-100 time of 19.0 sec., of course they had a 0-60 time of 7.0 sec. & a 1/4 mi. of 15.5@ 92 mph so I think they were very conservative. For comparison they had a 350 Z that 0-60 in 6.1 sec. & 1/4 mi. in 14.7 @ 99 mph.
