I have to agree with joe flo, if you want to drag race often, go 11's while being reliable doing this, the supra is a better choice.

In case anyone forgot. Rikkis old rx-7 ran 11.7.
It was a ported engine on stock twins set up non sequentail.
It was his daily driven car. He drove it in DC traffic everyday from Maryland over to his work (PFS) in Manassas Va.
He never broke down on the 11 second engine either.
That only proves to me that its all in parts and tunning.
So I simply answer your question.
Yes you can build a reilable 11 sec RX7, and I want to add that you dont necessarily need anything other than stock turbos to do it.
There was a guy at rotorfest that was claiming 400 on stock engine and turbos.
Did anyone ever confirm that?

ONe more addition to htis it that you need to know about your rotary engines. I have had my FD for 7 months and I am still learning about things so soak up all the info you can but info from the right people. Not to put anyone down here but not all these guys on the internet know what their talking about. You should go to a good rotay shop and tell them that you want to build an 11 sec. RX-7.

Your ears must have been burning.
You come out of the wood work as soon as your name comes up.

It means your turbos wont live terribly long and they will be blowing oil like a hooker on sale at Mardis Gras.
