Well my best friend finally bought him a 300ZX twin turbo after looking for about a year. I convinced him to race me earlier tonight while we were heading home. His car is a 93 all stock 300ZX and I have a 94 RX-7 with a down pipe and boost controller (set on low/stock boost). We lined up at a red light and as soon as it turned green we got on it. By the end of the intersection I was a car length ahead. When I let off at 100mph I was about 5 car lengths ahead. I was amazed I put so much distance between us. We raced again at the next light and I still but about 3 car lengths between us. My best friend is really the only person I race so I'm glad he lost, it gives me a little cushion on the next upgrades.

I don't know, from a roll I had to work to keep up. That thing is a torque beast! I just have a very light car and mine hooks up better off the line. He is going to get an ECU, intake, and exhaust in a few weeks and that is supposed to add 100 hp to his car. I hope I can still beat him after that...

So he's going to stage III. You wouldn't have any problems still at that level with your (RX7) setup. The 300ZXTT should put a little over or less than 300 HP to the wheels, maybe. Also you weigh about 700 lbs less. He'll have to get a boost controller and dial lets say a bar then I say it'll be close .
