0-60 in 5.9 sec.?
 

According to this website.
I don't know how they got the number but it is significantly faster than what other magazines have been reporting. ie. "under 7 seconds".

That's very interesting...

Oh dear... reputable source there :thumbdown:

I'm going to pretend this is a 100% legit source and say.

"F*** YEAH!! That's a hell of a lot better than I was expecting!" But keep in mind I'm still pretending.

LOL! Pretending is fun.
Imagine when they do it with one that the engine is properly loosened up... need to update the thread to say 4.9! ;-)

Wikipedia was down today

Quarter mile is slower than tC with manual...

No it's not, tC is supposedly 6.8 and FRS is 5.9.

15.3 1/4 mile time? Pretty slow for a car that hits 60 in under 6 seconds. I think this car is still between 6.5-7 seconds to 60, but who cares. I'm buying this car for the driving experience, not for pure acceleration.

I think it's a typo. It's actually 6.9 judging by the 1/4 mile.

If u want a fast car on a drag strip why not go for a mustang boss or Dodge Charger

At least one car mag got a 2011 tC to 60 in the mid 6's if I recall correctly. That's a weaker car with several hundred more pounds on it.

The best 0-60 times on a RSX-S have been low 6's too, as well as some of the later Civic Si's, both again being heavier cars with nearly identical power.

With that said, if the BRZ/FR-S can't do it any faster than 6.5, then it is a piece of shit engine/transmission. It "has" to be at least as fast as the Civic/RSX.

This car is not slow...it will be very close to 6.0! It's going to depend on the gearing...and the final power to weight ratio...

^^ uh, the gearing is already here, and the power is already here...torque curve probably looks something like the 2GR-FSE. Gears are similar to the Hondas mentioned, I think.

I could see 5.9 happening with a clutch dump :iono:
