Can an rx7 tow a trailer and an ATV?
I'm looking into trading my 92 gsx off for a rx7. I have just bought a new atv and I need something that will tow atleast 700lbs. Can an n/a rx7 do it? I'd rather stick with a 5 speed. Am I looking for trouble here?
I have had a number of people give me the "sell it and buy a truck" story but I am not buying a truck.

The reason I want to "maybe" trade my car off is simple, awd is expensive! I'm looking at a driveshaft re-balance, another rear end (new ring and pinion), new front brakes (the 1st half of 92's had single piston"small" brakes and I'm sick of warping rotors) a new exhaust mani, new stearing rack, and misc other parts.
That and rotaries are so neat!

An n/a RX-7 can do it. I've pulled another RX-7 before and it wasnt that bad. I figured my car was going to explode but everything was fine. My car was n/a and had a dying engine. A turbocharged RX-7 will be even better for the job since they have more tourque and power.

I figured as much. I got a good laugh when I called satan to ask what the towing capacity of a 92 gsx was. Quote the tech "hmm I'm not sure what you could put back there that would be that heavy" me: "well I was going to pull a small trailer with it" tech: "well as long as it is only one of the small pop-up ones I thing you'll be fine" me: "I don't mean camping trailer, I mean utility trailer!" tech: "oh well, I'm not sure you can pull one of those or not"
camper=1k+ lbs
atv+trailer=around 800lbs

The question isn't "can it pull an ATV and trailer." The question is "WHERE can it pull an ATV and trailer?" I would bet anything that if you tried to climb a hill of any significant size with the rex while pulling something behind it you will have probs.
