I have a base model 1987 RX-7
It has no mods
from 0-60mph is it 7.0 or 8.0 or7.5 or faster
I think it gets 7.2sec from 0 to 60mph.
Is that right?

ive pulled an 8.1 with a stock s5, 9.3 with stuck 5th and 6th ports cloged shut, and with a few mods (catback, bonez cat replacement, msd ignition, and a cone filter) i pulled a 6.4. this is n/a btw. i concider that pretty good for a mildly modded s5 n/a. this was using a gtech, all multiple runs at the same place and these are the averages. though the gtech is not the best indicator it does show a definite improvement. this was on a stock clutch too, so i have no doubt with a better clutch i could of had that down to low 6's 0 to 60. even though a 1/4 mile is best to judge i find 0 to 60 a good indicator of what the car can do around town, i mean there is so much traffic in houston its hard to get past 60 or 70 and expect to live thus i stick to taking (slow) cars out at stoplights. btw i believe for the 6.4 run i had taken the spare tire out and a few other small things i didnt need.

yup through some exhuast and intake on her and she'll open up alot, those were my only mods when i ran a 15.2 in the 1/4 mile. Not sure what my 0-60 was tho but it's an 86 base, very light at 2500 pounds on the scale at the track

No... You are all a little off there. People think way too much, sorry to say, of the n/a rx7's. It is NOT that fast stock, end of story. Here are the stats of an 86-87 base model rx7
Obtained from C&D
0-60: 8.5
1/4 Mile: 16.5
And does anyone actually search? There is a new thread at least weekly about "how fast is my n/a rx7" or "what can i beat in my rx7!" or "my n/a rx7 is so fast but it has no mods, how come?" etc etc etc. It really gets annoying to have to read these all the time, especially since most the time people post false info.

^ exactly, i keep hearing how n/a's are so hard to get into the 14's with but im sure i was close, with the times i was running on my gtech and the cars i had beaten. im not saying na's are fast at all in the scheme of things but compared to stock id say it was very surprising what the right mods can do for these cars.

oh also take into account that houston is at sea level and in many cases below so it is an ideal location to run. these results are not going to happen to all cars and in different locations. i happened to have a car in great shape with excellent compression and just about any mainteince a person could do was done to it. also i dont weight that much and i usually run my times with less than 1/4 tank of gas. so my times are done in ideal situations, many variables can throw things off.

i ran a 0-60 of ~8.7 seconds. this was in the wet, with a passenger, my auxilary ports were only opening at 5500rpm, and it is a S5 with a S4 motor, but i had a pretty low tank of gas. so i think low 8s is not unreasonable...

S5 also has more weight. I read that a s4 base runs like a 7.9 with stock everything. So, lightly modded with a good driver, and good compression, I'd vote a 7.5 0-60. Anyway, who wants to dragrace, it's the track that matters, it's what our cars were designed for.

again agreed^
threads like this are USELESS
you want bragging rights in a straight line? go get yourself something that has at least 8 of those bouncing cylinder thingies. or maybe just six, but it has to be forced induction, behind you, and have 'Porsche' written on the top

yup, so me having an S4 engine in an S5 should put me at an even greater disadvantage^
so if i can manage to run 8.7 with all that **** going against me, i'm sure at least a second faster is easily attainable in stock form (under good conditions, for car, driver, and weather)...

The magazine I have says 8 sec 0-60. It's from when the FC came out and tells all about the car.
I found some links and their source is Mazda itself:

http://www.lemmings.com/mark/rx7specs.htm
http://www.rx7.voodoobox.net/infofaq/rx7specs.html
hmmm... 7.2 for S5 n/a?

Those turbo times seem really fucked up too. The TII's ran low 15's maybe high 14's stock.

just to shed some light on this ...
i have a stock 1990 TII ( apart from the main cat has been removed )
my first time on the strip showed these times
1st Run - 15.98
2nd Run - 16.45
3rd Run - 15.87
4th Run - 15.34
5th Run - 15.57
6th Run - 16.17
7th Run - 15.07
8th Run - 15.23
not sure if it will help you solve the argument though

Any stock n/a that thinks he/she is running mid to low 15's, go to the track and report back your times, please...
