Mazda says this car does a 0-60 in 6.2 seconds. How is that possible when people are running 13.7 stock?
mazda can say whatever they want to say. c&d ran a 5.4s 0-60 and a 13.9s 1/4 @99mph.Mazda says this car does a 0-60 in 6.2 seconds. How is that possible when people are running 13.7 stock?

i work for mazda. i found out the exact reason. they didnt want another rx-8. they didnt want a car that was rated at something, and then was found out to really produce like 30 hp less. so they under rate power rating and accel times and if customers find out they are faster and produce more power, then they are happy.better to under estimate than over estimate which would essentially be false marketing

That's a good ole business tactic called CYA.i work for mazda. i found out the exact reason. they didnt want another rx-8. they didnt want a car that was rated at something, and then was found out to really produce like 30 hp less. so they under rate power rating and accel times and if customers find out they are faster and produce more power, then they are happy.

you have CAI listed in your sig. see numeral 1 above.13.7 on 93 octane isn't that hard. if you're someone who knows how to launch the car consistently, it's completely attainable without thrashing the car.

I suspect that you are trolling here occasionally to raise crap. Looks like he left when everyone gave him intelligent answers. What are the RSX Type S' dyno'ing at stock anyway?Mazda says this car does a 0-60 in 6.2 seconds. How is that possible when people are running 13.7 stock?

Hell, an SVT Focus can beat an RSX-S and it has 30 less horsies. I do like the interiors on them though (and since my reflash, I would say they are more consistent), but they are an entirely different class of car so why is this even coming up????.The rsx guys love to talk down every other car including the ms6. Go check clubrsx and you'll see. When they get beat, they usually revert back to their old 'well I have a honda/acura and it's more reliable' or 'my interior is better, lol'. Truth the rsx-s is dog slow compared to ms6 stock for stock. It's a high 14s car on the best day, down a hill with a tailwind. And with all their bolt-ons, reflashes or turbos, I'm sure a bone stock ms6 would probably still keep up with the majority. Thank god there's an aftermarket for them or else they'll get beat by the tamest of the modern family sedans. Same goes for the members of clubsi where the biggest bunch of douche-bag crybabies hang out.
So the trolls coming in here and trash talking are most likely from one of those two clubs. The subaru and VW guys generally seem more respectful of other cars besides their own.

I could care less how much power they produce per liter , they're low 15 second cars (on average), that's slow. For that money, they're are tons of cars right now comparable in performance.And if they're so great, why did you trade? Whatever, the subject of this thread and the fact that you call yourself rsxtypes with no fucking signature could fool anybody into thinking you're just another dirty troll. My apologies.Dumbass i OWN A MS6 thats what i traded my RSX in for...your logic is shut down right there.....
alsot hey arent slow dogs, they produce 100 hp per liter....find me another car comperable for that money otehr hten an s2k with 120 per liter....

got any pics of your car? reasons why you traded in your acura for a mazda?Dumbass i OWN A MS6 thats what i traded my RSX in for...your logic is shut down right there.....

Geez, give the guy a break.
He asked some fair enough questions and you start bashing RSX's because of his screen name. Grow up people.
I have wondered the same things he asked (I was not aware of the RX-8 mess until about a month after getting my MS6).
My wife has an RSX and the only thing we do not like is its lack of torque, other than that it is a great car that has awesome cargo capacity - something the MS6 really really sucks at despite being much bigger

simmer down tough guy, that kinda talk puts me to :zzz:Im just asking questions and anything I say is true. Mazda did give those stats. I have no idea what the type s is dynoing at, 200 crank hp take 20% off that around 150-160 to the wheels.
PS. if you have a problem I live in chicago ill give you my number and you can meet me and tell me your point of view of instead of trying to do it over the internet
