Mazda RX8 - 6mph to 99mph in 20 Seconds

My blue stock Rx8 2004 stick shift. Starting from 6mph to 99mph in 20 seconds(I didnt floor it, I could of gone alot faster)... had to stop cause some fatass got in front of me. Add "&fmt=18" to the url for higher video quality.

i'm confused. i just bought an rx-8 two weeks ago and i'm hearing that i need to redline once in a while to keep my car in good shape? is that really true. not saying that is stupid or anything, i love revving the engine! i just need to clear things up

[FallenAngelFlonne]

Yes you should redline your car once a day,, because carbon builds up the engine. Also MAKE SURE you heat up your car before u take it out... i learned that the hard way.

someone told me redlining isn't so bad with rotary engines

RX-8 BEST car in the world!

@ncarter124 and what exactly do you drive?

[Stack1993]

ok, so before you laugh at me, i just got a 2004 rx8 like a few days ago, but it seems like when i race and let the RPM's get above 7K it wont let me shift no matter how forcefully i try it just wont until the rpm's come down...Help?

[ncarter124]

@twistedyogert Yes, that's why they are so popular lol

[ncarter124]

@gocrytoyourmama Except for the lack of power, boring sound, horrible gas mileage and even worse reliability. Yeah, fantastic cars.

@FallenAngelFlonne Then what was the point? To show us how fast you can go from 6 to 99 if you aren't trying?

[twistedyogert]

Are Rotary engines better then the well known piston type.

[colindyvig]

@FallenAngelFlonne Then what was the point of timing it?

@zpardos For sure man. But driving is kind of like poker. Everyone thinks they know what they are doing, but realistically, only few actually do. I live in so cal and I see so many kids w cars payed for by mommy and daddy, but they can not drive for shit. Out at Willow I watched my buddy in a stock WRX beet a dude in a slightly modified STI. WTF is going on there? lol

[anphelps27]

@Weslo2 Naw its not.  It is actually good for them.

Rx8 is capable of better 0-100 than this driver has posted. He took 9sec to do 6-60 mph (stock series I driven properly can do it in under 6).
