People who don't know their stuff...
 

I found this link of stats on the FD, can anyone else tell me what's wrong with the 0-100 and 1/4 mile times here?

http://www.fast-autos.net/mazda/rx7info.html

How can a car go 0-100 in 12.9 seconds, BUT only do the 1/4 mile in 14 seconds @99mph?!? W/out slowing down that is or really messing up a shift???

Just something I thought was funny.

:rofl:

Good catch... LOL

Yea my second gen does 0-100 in 5 seconds and 1/4 mile in 45 seconds@3mph! Beat that!

The curb weight, horsepower, and gas mileage is wrong too. I wonder where they get their info?

Yes, 14mpg :confused: my AUTO averages 15-17 mixed driving and 18+ on the highway!
