i have done some searching and in this forum everyone says that the gsl-se is the fastes n/a rx7 u out of all the generations . Is this true , because i have found a website that says the s5 rx7's are the fastest hittin the 1/4 in 15.3 and the gsl-se in 16.2 . is this webiste wrong . wat are ur suggestions . thanks

 

i forgot to post the website where i got the info from but its http://www.rx7.voodoobox.net/

 

i'm gonna go with... NO, the gsl-se is not the fastest n/a version of the rx7's. altho close. (this is in stock form correct?)

 

yes in stock form

 

I'd say S5.

 

call me crazy but all the sites i've seen with stock quarter mile times had the n/a 2nd gens running at mid 16s in the quarter.. almost same hp as gslse but heavier.. I'm going with the SE on this one.

S5's make a fai bit more power than -SE's stock... but they're heavier...

I'd say S5 straight line, -SE in the corners...

 

Mazda claimed a 16.1 quarter for the SE.....2590lbs with 135hp/133lb ft.
Mazda claimed a 15.9 for the S5,but most tests by mags at the time of intro put it at mid 16's......2800lbs with 160hp/140lb ft.

The 200+lbs cant be offset by only 7 more lb/ft of torque and everyone knows a peaky engine is going to be slower than a flat engine,especially in a heavier car.The extra 25hp is useless if it only comes online for 1-2K rpms near redline.The SE is the king of flat torque curves.....peak torque at 2700RPMs....the S5 peaks at 4000RPMs, which is very "12A-like" of it.....

 

S5 GTUs = Fastest stock N/A rx-7

 

the website i went to was http://www.rx7.voodoobox.net/ and they net the s5 at 15.3 . i know in other websites they have s5 at the mid 16's .that is a very big gap ? but one of them has the real stats just dont know which one .
