Lets be honest the RX-7 is 20 years out of date performance wise unless you have had asignificanf transplant such as a boosted 13BT. Just read road tests from 1985, the gen 1 was being outdated.
Playing around with minor mods is not going to have any real impact. To be a sportscar these days you will have to have at least 180rwhp.

As far as modern cars go, I have a feeling there are quite a few out there that I cant even hang with. Its crazy how much power some of those "luxury" cars can put down. BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc. I can hang with just about any Honda that wants some, but I do admit, I had to try damn hard.
On another note, I did a little jetting, and ended up right where I started, but now with real fuel pressure, it feels like a whole new car. Im back running an F-9 65 idle jet, 145 main jet, F-7 E-Tube, 36mm Venturis, and 160 air corrector, but DAMN does this thing feel fast now. I know feeling fast and actually being fast are two totally different things, but going from what I was driving to this, all I can say is DAMN. I was on the highway and caught up to another first gen (silver 84 or 85 GSL with big chrome rims) but I didnt get a chance to try and race him. Even though he did take off (fast I might add, Id almost say porting or a 13B was involved), I was in 5th and didnt know he was even gonna go for it so I was totally unaware. I took off from a stop light a short time later and out ran a newer Trans Am that I had been messing with earlier, but I dont know how hard he was trying. I gave it everything I had, and when I let off at 60 in 3rd (50 MPH speedlimit) he was a good 2 car lengths back and gaining on me pretty quick. Oh well, I know I need some more fine tuning with the jets, but it just feels about twice as fast as it was now, so Im happy
