can my rx-7 take this?

hey,
this guy has offered to race me and he's got a 1994 3000GT with these mods on it:
K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kit, HKS Sequential Blow-off Valve, Apex'i AVC-R Boost Controller, Blitz Multi-speed Turbo Timer, DN Performance Aluminum Y-pipe


Check out my mods in my sig and lemme know if i would be able to take this guy in a drag assuming we both got off the line well.
I def know i could win in a road course given the 7's unbelievable handling.

You won't off the line, but you will pull him. If you race above 95-100 mph, you will drop him like a rock.

Vr-4

A stock VR-4 with 360HP and a curb weight of 4600lbs VS. a 7 at 255 at 2700lbs. From what I have seen beening a former Mitsu Tech. You will kill him. Off the line is also no match. He is just too damn heavy. The only time those tanks are nice is on the highway since they and a 6 speed. They have some crazy top end. No worries you'll have him by a sec. or so in the quarter as long as your tires aren't stiff as rocks. (what boost is he running?)

They have 320 stock HP and weigh about 3800lbs. I also think this belongs in another thread.

i figured i'd have a good jump on him just because the Vr-4's are so damn heavy.

Yeah you've got him ... not off the line because it's AWD ... unless of course the Mitsu drivetrain does what Mitsu drivetrains do. Whether he keeps up with you when you pass him is dependent upon what exactly that K&N Fuel something kit is (bigger injectors?) and therefore what level of boost he can run with that boost controller.

the K&N fipk is just a new intake system, new filter that replaces the stock air box.

i dunno but if he's not pushing nething real high over stock (i doubt he is from the stock turbo) i think i can take him--i plan on getting 360hp out of my 7 @ some point or another and that'll damn near take anything this side of a ferrari.

if he's stock you'll be close...

But I'd be willing to bet he's upped the boost to 14psi at least, giving him the edge. Stock he's around 11-12 psi making 320 hp for his 3900 lbs, you're lighter by 1000 lbs, but down ~70 hp. So it's close, but I'd prolly give the nod to you in the FD, all other things being equal. You better know how to launch your FD thoug, cause those VR-4s like that 0-60 part.
Try him and see, if he wants to put down $, then he's boosting more like 1bar and making more like 350, so don't loose your $.

It should be close. Go post this on the 3Si forum, they will tell you that their car is unbeatable!!!
Nothing like the power of AWD. It should be a 10 second VR-4, blah blah. lol

Oh that's garbage.

When he starts crying, offer to race him in reverse.
