ok i was at these car race last night with my friends in maryland (metro) and in between race me and two other friend were in the car going to a meeting point. then this white newer RX_7 came up next to me an started stairing at me and then at the light rev his engine. so my friend told me to rev my engine at him (my first time at a race). then the light turned green and i was shifting the auto and twe where next and neck then i hit about 80 and i was gone and all he could see was my blinkers blinking and my friend pointing and talking about them.

 

you goto Metro?? and you're in MD??? ever been to any of mour Meets, never seen you around.....

 

you beat a 3rd generation RX7 with a VG? no,maybe you werent racing...he probably didnt know and you were neck and neck with him until 80 you were at wot and he was at half..just a possibility

 

lemme put this here flag up...

 

how fast are those rx-7's

i know they're fast, but how fast?

 

my friend is a rx7 freak so all i hear is him preach about them so i know a good amount about them...a 93 in 5spd can do as good as 13.8 in the 1/4 stock

well actual i did there must of been something wrong with his car but i did win. i'm sure of it. maybe his one of his mods was messed up

 

yeah maybe his boost controller was set to 0psi

 

i don't know but the feeling was fun that i won

 

you people know that not every new rx7 is turbo? why dont we all take a while to think before we make stupid posts.

 

kinda ironic coming from "dummy"

 

thanks for the help i don't think it was a turbo it was just a regular rx-7

 

True!

 

Actually this is where you are wrong...ALL "newer" as stated by gold4dsc are turbo. The last gen of rx-7's made from 93-99 in the US were ALL twin turbo putting out about 255 horses and 217 ft lbs of torque...get your info straight before posting

 

i will give ANYONE here 100 bucks cash if you can find me a 3rd gen RX-7 without a turbo in it...one that's actually running in good condition on the road not in a junk yard. go ahead "dummy" find one..i'm talking 93+ now.

now why don't YOU take a sec and think before you post.

 

buwahahahahaha

 

Check out the new Sport compact car and read about the newest import drag contenders. Almost all use 2 or 3 rotor rotaries. Those things rock! If this guy beat a 3rd gen rx7, he has one cherry vg or that mazda was too busy scratching his nuts to worry about that race..My bet is the itchy nuts!

 

still wouldn't matter...

 

i agree. . .. not even with boost. . .

 

Guys, I was just kidding.

 

i would disagree.. if boosted right.. a maxima could take a rx

 

lesson of the day...
don't scratch your nuts when driving.

 

correct...but at the same point you can say if the RX7 was boosted right it would wipe the floor on a turbo VG..no?

 

What if you have an automatic?

 

scratch when you're not picking your nose.

 

Ok guys... heres the scoop on RX-7's:

The 3rd gen RX-7 was imported from 1993 - 1995, all of them were twin turbo cars with 255 hp stock. They weigh ~2800lbs and I think the statistic is that 90% of them are 5spds. (Automatic is RARE)

2nd gen RX-7's were imported from 1986 - 1991. 86-88 Non-turbo cars (no hood scoop) had 146hp and would run the 1/4 in about 16 flat. They bumped the HP up to 160hp for the 89-91 but they still were about as fast because they increased the weight. 87-88 Turbo RX-7s (what I have) came stock with 182hp / 183lbs of torque. These cars should run low 15's in stock form.

Honestly the only car that I can see a VG running anywhere near is a non-turbo 2nd gen. I think that's very realistic, but to hang with ANY of the turbo cars... well... good luck...

Also keep in mind that the turbo cars can be modified easily... and respond fairly well to mods... for examply my 87 is putting down 212.7 rwhp and 211.9lbs of torque. And I don't have a whole lot of stuff done...

 

yes..hence the RX7 driver scratchin his nuts while driving.

 

Yall's a brutal bunch of fellers

 

sure, just pm me and ill tell you where to send your 100 dollar check or money order. sorry i dont accept cash.

there is a red rx7 i know here in in austin that is nonturbo.

 

sure there is also a 100 dollar bill here in NY. let's see some proof. talk is cheap. so stop your BS..you know you're wrong..just admit it...why fight it? even Brian (RX7 guy) came on to correct you.

 

maybe the rx-7 started out in 5th gear?

 

it's probably a second gen...i want pics if it's a third gen...if it is it may be non turbo but i doubt it runs

 

Yes my friend they are, espeically when someone doesn't know what they're talking about. Like saying some 93-97 RX-7's were made without turbos.

 

ok, ill try to get some pictures, i am not lying, it is a red 93+ rx7 non turbo..and has a bunch of stickers on it..i dont know whta he did to it but it is not turbocharged...

 

though i am talking out of my *** here,..
any 3rd gen rx (barring the fact it is fuxored) would destroy most all maxima's, now 2nd gens might actually depend on driving / mods
but there is a huge difference in the body of the car, i would hope you could tell,

love the bs flag

 

If "newer" rx-7 means circa '91 or earlier, then yeah maybe. But like chrispy said, those 1.3's in the '93+ are nothing to be taken lightly.

 

i thought 3rd gen rx7's all came turbo.. i never heard of a non Turbo 3rd gen rx

 

yeah we established that about 3 weeks ago

 

well just for refrences, i ran against a 2nd gen non-turbo rx7, he had alot of mods, exhaust, filter no ac belt, ignition, short shifter, bunch of other **** he told me i dont even remember, our race was for 3rd place in C bracket, and i was kinda scared of racing him, plus i had my straight pipe on at that time. So we lined up it was his 17.1 against mine 16.5. Now i have a 3rd place trophy sitting at home.
