The same goes for the RX-8. They had the RX-8 at 5.8 sec for a 0-60 mph time, and now they have it at 6.5 . 1/4 mile time was around 14.4, and now it's at 15.0 .

I don't know who is driving this time around, but certainly not the regular testers.

And stop dissing on the RX-8. I love the Z for its speed and price, but I love the RX-8 for its nimble nature and overall fun factor. Gotta remember, how you rate a sports car is not all about 0 - 60 times.

I just not fun when titans and tundras are passing you.

Nissan Titan 0 - 60 MPH: 7.6 Sec
Quarter Mile: 16.0
Top Speed: 120ish

Toyota Tundra: 0 - 60: 6.3 Sec
Quarter Mile: 14.7
Top Speed: ?

*Both Titan and Tundra facts taken from Wikipedia.org
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mazda RX-8: 0 - 60: 5.9 Sec
Quarter Mile: 14.5 @ 95.6 mph
Top Speed:148 (Electronically Limited)

Nissan 350Z: 0 - 60: 5.4 sec
Quarter Mile: 14.1 @ 101.0 mph ('03 model)
Top Speed: 155 (Electronically Limiited)

Both RX-8 and 350Z facts are taken from: modernracer.com
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, if you want to compare RX-8 and 350Z, the 350Z is clearly faster although both have similar top speeds. But don't compare the Titan and the Tundra to the RX-8....they certainly aren't passing it.

Willie

Ummm, the new tundra is sub 6 seconds to 60 and will beat the rx8 in the 1/4.

Huskyfan23

Proof? It can do better than 14.5 seconds in the quarter? Show me a link.

And check it out:

15.75 seconds in the 1/4 mile? My math skills may not be great, but I don't think that's faster than 14.5........

Zakira

I, for one, don't base it on just the 0-60. But Car and Driver said Z was the fastest around the track. It posted the fastest time around the circuit. So how does the fastest sports car in a sports car contest wind up 3rd?

Oh Okay that would be why.. Thanks for that hahah.. I was like wtf who actually believe those numbers haha

Mansmind

leather here

you don't feel it normally.. only if you're really pushing back against the headrest

Jabdo233

I don't get it, how is it the Z can perform just as well, if not better than a GT 500?

Willie

read the thread and figure it out.

zpak

Even when a car is the SLOWEST around the track and has the SLOWEST 0-60 and SLOWEST 1/4 mile, Car and Driver STILL gives the car FIRST PLACE:

And, yes, everyone, it IS an RSX, so in fact, RSX IS FASTER!!!

LOL sorry but I have seen tests that show the Titan in the high 14s stock. Dunno where u got that slow *** time.

I don't think the Z is faster than the GT500 (supercharged, with 500hp), just faster than 330hp (24hp more than Z) ShelbyGT that weights 300lbs more. Makes sense to me.

Huskyfan23

Are you blind? I mentioned where I received the time. www.wikipedia.org .

Jabdo233

Wow you were next to useless in explaining anything. It was because it's not a GT 500, it's a Shelby GT. Thanks danduvz for pointing that out.

Huskyfan23

Beats the hell out of me. Ask Car and Driver for their reasoning. I think it should have beaten out the TT. All I know is it didn't just come in 3rd, it got KILLED by the RX-8 and Audi TT. The RX-8 got a total of 198 points, the TT got a total of 192, and the 350Z got a total of 167.

Obviously, they really must not like the 350Z at Car and Driver, for something other than straight line performance.

Umm no. I use to own a Titan you noob.

Huskyfan23

LOL, someone is P!SSED about something! Good to see a magazine can get you that angry at the RX-8, for something it had no control over.

RSX is not faster than an RX-8. RSX type S isn't near as fast as an RX-8 either. From modernracer.com:

RSX Type S 0 - 60: 6.5
RX-8: 5.9

So nice attempt to down play the RX-8. Too bad you didn't do your homework beforehand.

Huskyfan23

lol. Just because I just started posting on this site doesn't mean I am uneducated.

And I didn't ask you whether or not you OWNED the car, I was replying to the fact that you didn't know where I received the imformation when I had clearly stated the location in the original post. Here, would this make it easier for you?
