badassed... my v8 rx7 is a ton of fun, but this is just plain f'n cool!!! good job

Thing looks like it pulls nicely!!!

Elcucuy, there is one problem with your reasoning when it comes to efficiency. It was nothing to do with the displacement-hp relation but everything to do with the fuel use-power relation. In 1995 the RX7 made 255hp/212tq was rated 17 city 25 highway by the US government. That same year the Corvette which cost roughly 1,000 bucks less made 300hp/340tq all while being rated 17 city 27 highway plus it weighed 400lbs more than the Mazda. Even worse was a Z28 turning out 275hp/325tq weighed 600lbs more still got better mileage and cost 20K less. Now I�m a fan of RX7 but do so homework before you start bashing stuff.

Nice RX man. :) What suspension and tires were you running at the track? I'd think you should be running faster, since I ran a 12.2 @ 119 on 225 street tires. :P However, I don't doubt that your FD has a low 11 second pass in it with the proper tires and suspension. I'll be going with the T04Z over the winter and rolling out with 450 RWHP in the spring. :) Anyway, keep representing us rotorheads in the meantime! Haha

awsome rx7 :)

efranklin said as quoted "Oh did i forget to mention any rx7 (1st gen, 2nd gen and 3rd gen) looks better then anything that comes with a v8 in it thats under 40k.. " couldn't have said it better, domestics look like SHIT, maybe excepr for the ws6 trans am. the rotary motors only weakness is the fact that it doesn't produce alot of torque (enough to get the wheels up) and the apex seals need to be replaced. for only being 1.3 liters and putting down the power it does is a mechanical feat. a 5.7l v8 looks incredibly inefficient next to it. v8's DREAM of only being half as efficient as any japanese motor.

Reality - You are a dipshit loser, and your mother should have swallowed you.Check out this dyno video, my car put down 380WHP that day (weak) and the LS1 put down about 350WHP. The guy that did the LS1 swap into the RX-7 spent about $10,000 doing it, and he even calls himself a dipshit for doing it. Since then, he has sold the car.Here is the video:http://videos.fuelflicks.com/search/rotarytuner/0/d9b4c102-0bcf-4d33-8a25-98db00583b78.htm

Once again I have only been beaten by a sti then we got on the highway and I ate him alive. I have never lost to a rotary engine. But yes I have eaten 2 rx8 weak and wimpys at the track. Weird how they cost so much but they can only run mid 14s. And as far a the rx7 being a better looking car than any V8 under 40K That is just your opinion. But I do Agree it is a nice looking car, but it looks even better when you pop the hood and see a LS1. Stop getting mad bigger is better. Just ask your mom.

REALITY!!!!! aka
Your local import eater.

Moron I dont own the cobra anymore. When I did it ran 13.2s on the 1/4mile. and it only had intake and exhaust It dynoed at 323 not 330 I have to change that. Anyway my main car is now The trans. am and with less than $900 put into the car (intake, exhaust, stall converter predator chip) it runs mid 12s no boost no bullsh!t, all throttle no bottle. Best time 12.48 at 111mph. Stock it ran 13.5s all day long. Now I have about a grand or so to my name, Hmmmmm should I get a 100shot of N20. Sounds like mid 11s to me.

How did he spend more money? Ls1 engine $1500, about 1-2grand for parts, base model N/A rx7 8-9grand. Rx7 turbo 15-20grand(in good condition). think about it man 15-20 grand for a low14s car or 11-12grand for a 11sec car.

One last thing.. your profile says you have a 330whp cobra.. and you call yourself the import eater? You would get eaten up by half the civics in my area.. you my friend are a joke.
