What have been your 0-60 times?
 

Motor Trend says the Limited AT took 7.7, which was 1.3 slower than the 6MT, putting it at about 6.4, which is in line with most other 6MT 0-60 times I've heard. 6.2-6.5 is pretty 'standard'.

The best time I've seen quoted for a manual was 6.1

I think with good rims/tires and aggressive launches you could see consistent low ~6.x times.

Those times make a lot more sense. What about if we switch out the un-grippy stock tires...Any data on how much the performance summer tires help the brz do it in?

The Motor Trend babe (lady) visiting tire-rack says she shaved more than a second on her best lap around the track with a BRZ and that the tires were the most cost-effective upgrade for the vehicle.

With the FR-S power to weight ratio, 0-60 should be in the low 6's!

Would an automatic on manual mode have the same 0-60 times as a manual (assuming driver in manual does not build RPMs & drop that clutch)?

0-60 in 6.5 is what Edmunds clocked it at and they are conservative (6.2 seconds with 1 ft rolloff). I would say 6.2-6.5 with the manual should be consistent.

With some minor mods, you should be able to get the car in the high 5's I would think.

By look alone, the twins should be able to do 0-60 in 4.2 seconds.

Hard to say.

Well getting away from a stand still with the manual still requires applying some throttle, unless you let the clutch out real slowly without throttle then mash the gas when it catches. If you did that the auto would probably be a car or two ahead of you before you could apply 100% throttle.

If you held the revs at say 1500 or so just so the car didn't bog when you dumped the clutch might be pretty close, if the auto just mashed the gas from a dig.

I don't think being in manual mode will help the 0-60 time in the auto. It should shift at redline just as fast under full throttle as it does in manual mode.

Drive safe.

i think the topgear 0-60 time was actually the 0-62 time because here in belgium they are advertised as 0-100kmph in 7.6sec(0-62mhp) but yeah they should be faster

This may sound dumb, but which traction mode gives the best take off and best 0-60 time?

Full traction ON stops power to the wheels so I'd think either sport mode or Holding the trac button for 5 seconds.

I drive a 6MT.

I've registered a few 5.9 with light wheels, sticky tires, muffler delete and drop in filter.

Full off. Sport mode turns TCS off, supposedly, but the stability cuts in if you have any angle at all, which always happens in a hard launch.

What I would really like to know is what are the 0-60 times for Vortech SC BRZs....

nobody seems to post their data outside of whp and dyno sheets.

Based on my times with drag radials on an shit track my 0-60mph was 3.5ish seconds. I'll us my phone app and try on the street with the stock tires for fun

What in God's name are you talking about

No - the automatic is geared for fuel economy. 4th gear is 1:1 ratio in the 6AT, whereas 5th gear in the 6MT is 1:1.

The gear ratio is responsible for what rpm the engine is at, in a given gear at a given speed. So you can cruise at 60mph in 6th gear in the 6AT, and be turning less engine rpms than 6th gear in the 6MT. The ratio is torque multiplier - and the auto has less torque multiplication per gear.

Also, automatic transmissions tend to "eat" a bit of hp, so 200hp at the crank will lose more when it gets to the wheels of the 6AT than the 6MT.

Long story short - that's why the 6AT is a full second slower to 60, but also why it gets 4-5mpg better than the 6MT.

The new computer controlled lock up automatics are more efficient than a manual box because the planetary gearset uses less energy and the lockup clutch takes the torque converter out of loop.

The automatic could be quicker than the manual if the ratios were correct, but that would never do or a sportscar.

BMW now fits the ZF 8 spd automatic to many models because it is quicker and uses less fuel.

No it had to do with NOT being able to launch the auto from a dig

I agree. The AT will do 60 in second gear, saving a shift over the MT. Also, if I remember correctly the 5-60 rolling start times are similar. I believe with a decent launch control the AT would be much closer to the MT in 0-60, if not better.
