Newbie: '88 NA rx-7 SE, What about it?

I posted something earlier similar to this, but now i am just wondering how mine stacks up to the other 2nd generation rx-7's. It's all stock with a 13b engine in it, i was thinking of some new rims, any suggestions (tight budget)? and what is this about S4 and S5 engines, can someone explain to me that stuff in a nutshell? Basicly, is mine any good, and if not, what can i do? One last thing, my brother drives a 92 SLC Corrado, and my sister drives a 92 Prelude SI, i am a better driver than them, but who would win in a drag, based on car? thanks in advance!

Your Rx7 is basically a base model, (lighter).
s4: 86-88 rx7's 146hp lighter
s5: 89-91 rx7's 160hp heavier
Many people say the s4 base or se is the fastest model rx7 because of the low weight. The s5's have more hp, but the added weight makes up for it.
Expect around a 16.0 quarter mile time if you are a good driver.
You and the prelude should be a good race, assuming you are both 5spds. But most girls cant drive, so you should win.
The corrado's are pretty fast, so unless you are a much better driver than him, he should win

Most cant. There are exceptions to every rule. But you plop a chick into a ws6 and send her down the track, youll see a lot of tire smoke and a 15s timeslip, or youll see it stopped half way down the track and in the wall.

I believe the statement was most girls can't drive, which is very, very true. The girls on this forum are normally an exception...
