Well.. the RX8 6 spd and the new miata 6 spd trannies are virtually the same aren't they?
I've heard of a guy putting a miata 6spd in his FB... but why?
Simply putting in a 6spd is NOT going to let you beat an NSX. 3rd gens have a hard time taking them stock.... so... yeah.
With the 6spd... you're just going to be shifting more often... (i.e. less actual accelerating).
Let's put it this way... a NSX runs what... 13.8 stock with street tires and a good driver.
There are like MAYBE 3 N/As on this site that go that fast... .and they aren't all that streetable.
And a 6spd isn't going to change any of that.

Dude you gotta SHIFT MAD QUICK YO!!! to be with teh TYTE Honduh NSEXXYYY!!
a 6 Speed is just going to space your gearing closer together. It will DO NOTHING on a NA GTU. You WILL get beaten to a pulp.
Drop in a turbo engine and d some mods and keep the 5 speed TII tranny and you''' be set to hang with them or beat them.

seriously this is one of the worst questions ive read in a long time. na's do not go 'fast'. doesnt matter if you have an 8spd tranny your not going to beat a nsx or even come close without a turbo, bottom line.

You want my serious advice? Your best bet without spending a ton is to get an N2O system. Make sure you also run an upgraded fuel pump and SAFC for safety. Good luck. And to all those who are acting like the NSX is god...its not that fast.

You want my real advice on how to make your FC beat an NSX?
Take the FC apart, sell the pieces.
Buy the pieces of a Suzuki Hayabusa. Rebuild the Hayabusa with Mazda and RX-7 on it.
Whip the *** of anything that challenges you. The only thing fast enough to keep up with a Hayabusa... is a Hayabusa.
