Rsx K20a 0 - 60

[jliu89]

Does anyone know the actual stats on the performance of the K20A?

I've been looking for 0 - 60 times and have come up with 6.8 secs on one site, another site said 7.7 secs.

I know that 0 - 60 times depends on geography and who's driving the car. I would just like an average time.

Thanks!!

6.8 + 7.7 /2 = 7.25 I'd say that is about average!

Most of the car mags test in different areas with different drivers and the results are going to differ. Round up a whole bunch of tests and find the average of those it will be pretty close.

Thanks for the suggestion......smart ass.....lol

I'd have to say IMO that it's around 0-60 mph in 7.7 sec. On another topic the Lexus IS300 is around 7.6 sec and the 93 Acura GSR is around 6.5 sec...but then again it's really based on the driver and where you're testing.

check your facts pal..... http://www.lexus.com/models/is/5speed_specifications.html

0-60 = 6.8 seconds. you must still be blind from the dental floss.

ouch!!! oneshot got burned! dude if i was u i wouldn't make up numbers here. your dealing with the wrong people to play smart with, bokchoy knows his stuff, that guy researches.

0-60 is one of the most useless measurements (for 95% of cars out there). All it is, is a marketing tool car manufacturers came up with. You can have one of the two equally powerful and fast cars be .5s slower 0-60mph, but when you measure 0-63 mph they could be dead even.

Are we talken K20A3 or K20A2, big difference in power between the two?

:thumbsup: agree. plus manufacture measurements are base on 101 or above octane, sea level geometric and tons of tryings. any normal ppl couldn't notice that 0.5sec different anyway.

I would pay more attention to the 5-60mph soft start data result, since it's more everyday use acceleration.

Stickboy should stick with his bicycle and bokchoy should stay away from chinese greens as your facts are wrong!! Maybe he should take some Ginko pills and save a few brain cells.

You should stay away from beliveing one source from the internet.

does this make sense:

2002 Acura RSX Type S 6.1 14.8
2003 Acura RSX Type S 6.7 15.1

The same car just got .6sec slower in the 0-60! Why?

Actually, the 0-60mph measurement came from people wanting to know how long it takes to get up to speed on an offramp to merge onto a freeway... back when they were first built in the US. Back in the day, cars take forever to do it, so it's kinda scary to get onto a freeway when your car can't accelerate to merge with the flow of traffic, so magazines would rate cars to see how "safe" they were by using a 0-60mph freeway speed measurement. It was quickly adopted as the standard for measure of acceleration, but really, a time vs distance (ie 1/4 mile) makes much more sense for us today in terms of performance.

Bit of useless information for everyone haha.
