Gotboost sorry that's incorrect. Yes, you saw the movie of one pass where it lifted off at 215mph, but racing beat did set the land speed record with a 242mph fd. :P

Here's a good link, although it looks like the drag time is out of date.

The Rx7 Option Video has a cool segment on both of the Racing Beat top speed runs... the white on that flipped and the black one that went 242. Jim Mederer was the driver, right?

nick van nugteren of rotary reliability and racing holds some speed records for first gens...his first gen hit 190.8 or something like that. I think the RB record was the one that fell that day.
I dont know about you...but a buck ninety in a first gen would make me shi# my pants.
anyhow...all those cars are fast...
I wonder what the best vette time is in the quarter...same for the supra and rustang...anyone know??

Its kinda hard to ask what the best time for a model of car without putting rules into it. Like when does a RX-7 no longer become an RX-7(besides the whole V8 thing)? At what point have you modified a car so much it no longer can represent other cars with the same model number? I almost think after the stock block has been changed you have almost disqualified it.(That includes 3 rotors)
Just a thought
