I say it is wrong as it will be faster. 5,9 sec from 0 to 62 mph.

Interesting will be the acceleration from 60mph on because of the good drag coefficient.

It won't be that good because it is not a turbo, but not that bad because the car is light, rev-friendly and has good drag co. as ou say.

That quarter mile makes no sense with that 0-60 time. No way will a car who has a 0-60 in the 5's do a quarter mile in the 15's, it should be much quicker than that. I call B.S on that source, either the 0-60 is off or the quarter mile is off and I'm praying it's the latter.

You will be highly disappointed.

Most have said 0-60 in 6 flat or so. Im sure 5.9 will happen in super good conditions but mid 6s will be more common.

That quarter mile is very high though. Id say 14.6-15 on average. I know the last gen Si could pull off high 14s and it weighs more and has less torque. But we wont know till we get the car

Even though i mostly do autocross and HPDE events im wondering how this cars 1/4 mile times are going to be effected by bolt ons and other goodies.

Im wondering what its going to take to get into the 13s minus a burnt clutch

I know we're talking FWD vs RWD, but as an RSX-S owner and forum member, I have seen plenty of people post slips near 14.0 and high 13s with just bolt-on and a tune, putting them around 200WHP.

RWD gets a launch advantage and this car has a slight weight advantage, there's no way this car is any slower in the 1/4 or to 60 than a stock RSX-S

It was the same for the 06-11 si's people were hitting low 14s, high 13s with I/H/E and a tune.

I used to own an RSX-S too, and those were my exact same thoughts. That quarter mile time sounds awfully slow, unless it has a really really low third gear (which I doubt). I'm thinking it'll be around 14.7-14.9 stock. I doubt this engine will respond to mods as well as the K20, so a 14.0 probably won't come about with breather mods and a tune. The RSX-S had slightly less torque output, but it also had lower drivetrain losses too.
