How fast is a RX8?

[yfin]

they are fast .. 0-100 in low 5secs... just deceptively fast when you're driving it .. it's like a 350Z which is also very linear in power delivery.. they're just so stable and solidly built that you just can't tell how fast you're going until you look at the speedo. I was usually way over the speed limit without any effort at all. For a standard car .. they're incredible.

Have you got a source for this claim of low 5sec? It has no correlation with any test I have ever read for the RX8 - save for an article on a custom TURBO RX8 in one of the Austrlaian magazines.

Realistically it is 14.5 to 14.8 over the 400m and 6.5 to 6.8 to 100kph.

Why do you think all the RX8 owners were complaining when the MPS3 was released? It is because the MPS3 is faster in a straight line. 5 sec is bull.
