@antisnafu I didn't know you could do it with the 20 sec hold, I will have to try it sometime :)

[antisnafu]

@TheDarthCarloos Yeah, I do it with mine. You can touch the DSC button and turn off 90% of the Traction Control and DSC or u can hold it down for about 20seconds and it kills it all. But after you kill it all, you have to turn the car off in order to be able to turn it back on. I read about it in an RX-8 forum about a year ago. Nice touch.

@MangoSmoothie16 you can also disable the torque management at start up which will give you full boost through 1-3 and no TC/DSC. I think C&D had it around 5.6 for the 2010, which I think is slightly slower that the Gen 1. But the Gen 2 is quicker at the 1/4 mile (Gen 2 = 14.1 vs the Gen 1 = 14.2.) The power band tops out at ~5600-5800 rpm so yeah they prob tried to drive it like a Honda lol

@TheDarthCarloos yeah... 0to60times has it at 5.1. They probably redlined it and didnt short shift like they should have.

[TheDarthCarloos]

@MangoSmoothie16 CNET prob doesn't have the best drivers. I've seen mid to high 5s from Car and Driver, etc etc so you are correct :)

[MangoSmoothie16]

mid to low 6? I thought these were sub 6 from the factory

@MCVPharmacyStudent what the fuck is wrong with the 10% thats saying its disgusting, are u fucking blind or retarded in any way? i swear to god this is one of the best looking cars ive seen.

It is hard to manage all of that torque with only FWD and not AWD vehicle And Mazda knew this!
