0-60 in 5.9 sec.? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

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...

Capt Canuck · 01-19-2012, 02:42 AM

Oh dear... reputable source there

SVTSHC · 01-19-2012, 02:50 AM

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.

Capt Canuck · 01-19-2012, 02:52 AM

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! ;-)

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.

SUB-FT86 · 01-19-2012, 03:47 AM

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.

tripjammer · 01-19-2012, 06:21 AM

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...

serialk11r · 01-19-2012, 06:32 AM

^^ 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
