I was always under the assumption that owners of NA RX7s knew they were slow.

Your 60 foot is terrible. Thats your main factor in your ET. However trap speed shows that car just lacks power..

Yea, but even if he cuts it down to a 2.1 60', he is looking at about a 16.8 flat give or take a tenth. Do you have anything done to it? I had an intake filter, and full exhaust header back, and ran a 15.1XX at 90.25 mph. With mods you could get into a high 14.

your reaction time is aweful, work on your reflexes before makeing your car faster

my vert ran 16.7 and all it has is air filter



1.99 60' you shift at about 75ft with a 3.90 rear

His problem is the aux ports... get that 6PI stuff working and you'll drop a second off that time.



My car with full exhaust (header, presilencer, x2 fartcan mufflers) and frozen aux ports dynoed 115.



And no, I don't still have fart cannons on the car :P

Worn out suspension can make your car react slowly (Affecting your reaction time) and your 60ft times

My suspension is all original. I do not think it was ever changed. The reaction time could be lower but the clutch was slipping and the car is BONE stock. My LSD is gone but likes to grip when it wants to. Like i said above i know the reaction times could be better but that was my FIRST time actually drag racing.
