Need fast RX-7. Read!!
#27
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.

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.  That car was a little more than $9k to build and develop.  Sure it's "cheap" to build Hondas...
You can also strip the hell out of an FC and make it go 10 seconds.  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.
