Its not getting 6 seconds without revving it to redline in second - this guy short shiftedJust saw this on Youtube. I timed the acceleration it seemed to be just around 7 seconds. What do you think?
Exactly, it doesn't reach peak power until 7,000 RPM. Even so, it still requires a shift to 3rd gear to reach 60mph or100km/h. If the redline was raised closer to 8,000 RPM then it may be possible to reach 60mph in 2nd gear (eliminating the time wasted shifting to 3rd gear). This would likely result in a 5.8s or so.Its not getting 6 seconds without revving it to redline in second - this guy short shifted
I'm not sure yet - while yes power drops off after 7k, you are still going faster - with redline at 7400 I feel as though that will be very very close to 60mph.Exactly, it doesn't reach peak power until 7,000 RPM.

From what I've seen, it's pretty close in real world acceleration (0-60) to the ND2 Miata. The BRZ/GR86 starts pulling away at higher speeds thanks to a better power-to-weight ratio.
You won’t get 100kph without hitting the limiter.Car and driver has a time deep into the 5 second range. I have done 5.8 0-60 according to my OBDII scanner. Its not all fancy using GPS, but uses the speedo info in the ECU. The "problem" is if you are chasing numbers on paper do NOT shift into 3rd gear to obtain a fast time. In a manual trans car exactly 60mph hits the rev limiter in 2nd gear. If you just bring it all the way to the limit you save .2-.3 seconds.
Thats what I said. Just bring 2nd gear all the way up til it bangs the rev limiter. Not ideal for real world performance, but if you are chasing 0-60 times thats how its done.You won’t get 100kph without hitting the limiter.
