The RX-7 is not the car to make a straight line performer. I don't care what performance mods you have on your TII, is slow as **** in a straight line. For the money the RX-7 is the best handling car out there. The rex doesn't belong on the drag strip. Not to mention for 6000 bucks you could buy something way faster in a straight line, a sportbike. You could pick up a nice R6 or CBR600 for about 6k and beat any RX-7 or honda civic on the road, as the bikes will run 10's right out of the box.

Yeah, granted. But if you buy a bike you're now racing bikes and not cars. They're two different classes all together. Thats like racing cars on a road course and thinking that you can't take a turn like you can on a bike...so you go out and buy a bike to race cars with. doesn't make sense. I think the RX-7 is the ideal car to make a straight line performer, but I'd rather carve through corners.

if you want straight line go with a supra. if you want backroads and autox go with a 7. i dont care if a supra can beat me straight line, lets see a supra try and take me in the backroads... you have to think of this, there isnt that many places to race straight line (at least not where i live) so most of the time you are racing curves, and rx7 beats anything in the curves.

Okay, troll?

Your 10-second Honda is not street legal unless you're Lanny Higa.&nbsp That car was a little more than $9k to build and develop.&nbsp Sure it's "cheap" to build Hondas...

You can also strip the hell out of an FC and make it go 10 seconds.&nbsp The FC will almost always out-corner the Honda anyways, but I guess it depends on what turns you on, right?

GTUbadboy,
If he does happen to buy a bike... and gets a R6 or F4i I surely hope that he's not going straight. Those bikes are like the 7... light and nimble. Straight line? Go with a 12-R or a Hayabussssssa. Heavy, straight line pigs.
Don.
