Rx8 gear and final drive ratios, also consider that it redlines at 9000, so despite the 4.78:1 rear end, the high redline helps stretch out those shift points. Also included is the BRZ ratios. Beyond all of this you have to take into consideration tire size, frontal area of the car, coefficient of drag, shift time, etc, as well as the optimal shift points based off of the torque curve of the vehicle.
http://www.perfectshifting.com/ Tends to be a decent calculator for this.

All I know is I run 14.2-14.3 with a 200whp bolt-on/tune RSX-S. Subtract 150lbs, add the RWD launch advantage, adjust for my power advantage, and they should both be about 14.8 stock

I haven't bought my DLC pack yet with the new test track in it. But you can do some drag test and tune, top speed or whatever on the new track. My friend said he ran a 15.1 in the GT86 on the Test track. A 6.603 in 0-60 time. Possibly slightly better IRL on a drag strip since there will be VHT laid down.

Thought so. I use the name Machina over there. Since I sold the DC5 for an M3 I mostly lurk for good deals in the for sale threads. And especially since we broke off of CSRX and formed autotalkcrew.com.
Are you getting a BRZ/FRS? |

I think I'll be better off waiting anyway, there could be updates, TRD/SPT parts, etc. that all the early adopter guys will have to wait for, and I'll get them right off the bat. CRSX is basically dead now anyway. I'm hardly ever on it anymore, just mainly Auto Talk and the Auto-X and Track sections. Now it's just car blogs like TTAC and Jalopnik for me. Shit, I remeber I used to kill hours reading and posting on there. |

Smart move. The more I read about the car the more convinced I am to pick one up.
I'm thinking it'll be an awesome auto-x car, which is the only kind of racing I do anymore. Sucks CRSX is dead now. I was the same way - go to the Auto Talk section and hang there all day long. And The Lounge. But after Loza and the rest started really heavily moderating it, things got kind of lame and a bunch of guys left. Autotalkcrew.com formed essentially because we were sick of the moderators there hassling people for no good reason. Oh well, the glory days are over but it was fun while it lasted. Hell of an information database for the RSX though. I'm really hoping ft86club turns out to be like that for this new car. We'll see where it goes. |

It always happens though. I used to have a B5 A4, and the Audiworld B5 forum was awesome while the average value of the car was $10-15k. Once they started to get old enough that people were getting them for under $10k in high numbers, you start to get too many trashy people and punk kids in the forums. Now the only biggest conversations on CRSX are like the hellaflush ones, and that's stupid. On AW it was when everyone wanted to throw 20"s on their A4s that I knew it had gone downhill. I think they need a central place for the chassis since they'll be so similar rather than breaking them apart into the Suby and Scion forums separately. This place seems good so far. *Edit* 1 more thing. I'll prbably auto-X the car for a season intially to get a feel for the limits, but HPDEs are my new drug now. I quit autocross last year and only do those now, and it's so much better. If you have the ability to get to one and afford them, I highly reccommend it. |
