How fast is a RX8?

[spetz]

What does a standard RX8 do over the 400m run?

I raced one with a friends B16 EG Hatch and beat one (He was clearly trying too)
But then I just watched a Topgear episode where around their track it was as quick as a M3

[yfin]

if you raced one on the track wouldn't you know the time it ran? We don't allow street racing here.

I had a RX8 for a year .. and there's no way in the world a B16 would beat it in anyway ... unless he wasn't trying, was just a crap driver .. or the B16 was fully modded with a turbo on it. the RX8 is deceptively fast when you're driving it because it's so stable and so linear .... you can't even feel when you're going at 100km/h. I've also had a B16 back in the days ... and there's just no way it compares in anyway.

The B16 wasn't anything too special
Would be lucky to get into the 14s I'd say
But the RX8 qas genuinely into it. And I was in the Civic...
I also dragged one while I was driving a VT V6 and th RX8 was marginally quicker...

Anway, regardless to that, what do stock RX8s get on a dragstrip?

[joey99]

looks like yo have a very special B16. take special care of it

[Mr_will]

why dont you look up the manufacturers website?

Some of the members here do mid 14s with basic bolt-on b16 in their EKs, so why can’t an EG b16 keep up or beat an rx8?

coz everyone always hates on the b16's.. thumbs down to them!
IMO it's a weapon for a 1.6

the rx8 is a weapon for a 1.3. hahaha. but we all know its a rotary lol.

[joey99]

so you're saying a B16 with a little exhaust and intake will do under 5sec to 100km/h ?

and yes.. a rotory .. but damn good for a 1.3 .. chews up fuel like there's no tomorrow as well .. but a nice car anyhow.

Yeah, alot of people underestimate the B16.

But frankly, a B18C would have more potential for equal mods - and I think thats where most are coming from.
