Youtube: Fullboost project RX-7
This is a Youtube channel I watch every now and again, Australian-based channel with some good solid tech. They seem to focus a lot on drag racing but that is super popular in Australia.
They are starting a project RX-7 that will be a full-on 4-link rear with a solid rear end -
Should be an interesting project. It's also worth noting that to get serious in drag racing you need to ditch the IRS and go with a solid rear end and slicks. Getting the car to hook up and go is #1 in drag racing. You can see the level of severe surgery required to do this.
I'm interested to see how the motor turns out, should be a pretty wild 2-rotor.

Considering some of their other rotary stuff they've had on the channel I fully expect like 600hp on alcohol or something exotic for fuel. It's gonna be some serious power.

Hard launches on slicks would quickly kill a stock diff. Also we are guessing at this point, we'll see what the whole project entails.

Second episode up -
The title card for the video says "2000 HP TURBO INBOUND" - I don't think a 13b can pull that off, but that is one SERIOUS turbo that's gonna make a truckload of power.
They are also going to be running methanol for fuel. That's a whole 'nuther game there too.
Interesting to see how a focused drag car is put together. The car is totally single purpose - that can't be driven on the street or on a curvy track, just single purpose 1/4 mile and that's it.
