I am new to rotary engines. I do have a basic understanding. I'm 16 years old and love cars. I am wondering what kind of model and year of the RX-7 I could afford with around 6,000 dollars. Its it true what people say of an RX-7's speed? Can a 1987 turbo RX-7 beat a mustang? Ive heard stories from both sides. Please LET ME KNOW THE TRUTH





thanks

oops, i didn't read ur whole post



ya u can find a good 7 for under 6k no prob. Mine is n/a and.... i have dragged a 92' 5.0, smashed it, and smashed a 96 Gt w/ my bud in my car. And by the way when i killed them i only had intake, and no mufflers.

 

My RX-7 cost less than 6 grand and beats mustangs...and looks pretty damn spiffy as well.

 

My vert is not a turbo buti only cost me 6500. cash money probably could have taken it for 6000.

 

I got my 89 Turbo II for 3500 and stock it beats GT mustangs

and with everything else it owns other things too

 

got my gtu for a g. Blown engine though

 

nathan where u from? i know someone named nathan with a gtr. well i got my 90 turbo 2 for 1500 but motor doesn't work.

 

Off the mark a rota would beat most things off the line, except maybe 4wd cars. Unless you have the top end power like a turbo or a huge port job, a big V8 will eventualy chase you down. Then again drag strips are only so long!

 

that dead on, i have a couple of friends with big v-8s. I race them a lot in the 1/4 mile. The mustang 5.0 w/ intake starts to catch up around 90mph. And my friends 86 camaro w/ 305 and $6,000 in internal mods noses up with me @80 mph.

Yeah i can crush them to 60 but those big torque #'s of their catch up with me.
