ok here it is i am getting an 3rd gen rx7 in about a week for my b-day and i wanna be one of the fastest out my friends i hang out with they are all rich kids with nice cars so i need to know who will win and be the fastest?
here is a list of there cars.
1)2000=s2000
2)96=camaro ss
3)94=tt supra
4)94=nonturbo supra(i know this answer)
5)92=nsx
6)97=stang cobra svt
7)96=gst with a turbo timer

none of these cars have nothing done to them under the hood pure stock...the car i really want to beat is the s2000 my friend swears its the fastest car and says he will smoke an rx7 and there arent many FD's where i live so we really cant prove him wrong.at least i want him to be wrong.

RX-7 can beat a s2000 easily. The only problem you might have on the list is the supra TT or the nsx, but most importantly the supra TT. The rest of the cars should be a breeze. btw, there are a lot of things you need to know about a rx7 before you buy it. good luck!

and it also depends on the driver.

Yeah please dont buy this car until you have a months worth of research under your belt. Otherwise there will be one more dead rx7 in the world

I agree with 1Fast7 ...

The NSX driver probably doesn't know how to drive it (proper shift points ... same problem with the S2000 ... it's a highperformance VTEC motor issue), so you don't need to worry about that, either. The TT Supra is the only issue here in a straight line ... maybe the SVT. On twisties, you're king.

Oh and that botton one, GST with a turbo timer made me fall out laughing!! Turbo timer ...

But I agree with Gir, too ... please don't get a ***** as a gift.

1FAST7

oh!, i didnt notice that... turbo timer does nothing really towards performance. its helps your turbos cool down.

Not shiz, The TT you might lose to, Plus man I dont recommend racing right off the bat, this car was a pain to learn how to drive, Ive had many of car, SS, and 300zxTT, so baby it for about a month first then go out and get a downpipe and exhaust, then go race the supra.

fastest in what? straight line? 1/4 mile 1/8 of a mile?



forget it... just get a Z06 and you will hand all of their asses. stock v.s stock of course

jd93rx7

yea when I first got my FD it had an ACT clutch and it was like learning how to drive a stick all over again lol

I laughed too, for one it's a 15.2-15.3 car with a good driver, and two, a turbo timer makes no difference in the cars performance, please at least learn that before venturing into turbo rx7s.

I think he might lose against the SS once he reaches speeds over 90 mph ON A STOCK ENGINE (Flame suit on).

black99

Oh and I am suprised the guy with the TT supra hasn't beat the guy with the s2000 yet..

i really wont see the tt supra very often so im not woried about him my friend said i should worry about the ss camaro he has done somethings to it but he only has 325 hp.
i have heard all the bad the good about the rx7 but i still have questions.i am honestly scared to buy an rx7 becouse i have budget on the car=20k or so.i dont wanna buy one and then be screwed with new engine and turbo becouse i really dont have te money to buy those extra items.i wanna be able to run low 13's high12's easily and a body ki thats really it

i am not gonna race the car on the track ever. only on the street..when someone thinks there fast am i gonna be ok as far as not needing new turbos or engine(if i buy a rx7 with new ones already in it)and keep up with good maintenance?

I also have like $1000 to spend after i get my car for extra items like blow off valve or guages etc.what should be the first thingsi should get

Definately faster than the s2000.
I'd say stiffest competition in that group would be the camaro, supra tt, and NSX. But the others are definate kills if you drive well, and have a healty FD.

Bucrx7

All you have to worry about is the TT supra. The 92 nsx is slow, you should be able to beat it but only by a little.

For the love of god, not another brain trust behind the wheel of an FD.

92 NSX is actually poor compition for a 3rd gen, esp. 1/4 mile

well ths kid says it did somehitng oh and another thing he said he was he reversed his blowoff valve i dont know what this means and what it will do but i asked alot of people and they laugh and say they have no clus what that does if someon out there knows please let me know again this is what the gst kid has and says he ran a 14.3 at the track but he doesnt have the card tp prove it but his friends saw him do it...any way here are the stuff he says he has.

1)the reversed blowoff valve
2)turbo timer
3)i dont know nothing about ecclipse but he said something about a honeycomb thing i dont know what it was.



and anoter thing if i could afford a zo6 i would get but im only 17 so i have a few more years to go before i get into those cars.

Bucrx7

If your rx7 is in good running condition, you should be able to hit 13.9-14.2 with a 60 foot time of 2.3-2.4...and that's a bad 60 foot times. You don't have to worry about that GST.

Gir

Ok please do the community a favor and dont buy a 3rd gen rx7. You wont be able to maintain it properly, and it will die and youll blame the rx7, a nd call it a hunk of ****.
We've seen it so many times.

JSpec

Got a point ya know.. I saw significant gains in tracks times due to my Blitz turbo timer (the digital compact is good for 15hp!).. that and my A/F meter made me run a bit ritcher.. Nah, seriously though.. Your friend with the GST is feeding you a load!

black99

WTF?? Reversing a bov??? Either it wouldn't work at all or it would work the same, depending on what part he reversed. I have heard of 2nd gen DSM guys using a 1st gen DSM piping because it flows better and then take a 1st gen DSM bov and crushing it in a vise to hold more boost. But I have never heard of reversing a bov. I'd say even with whatever honeycomb thing he has, and the reveresed bov that you should have him. P.S. If he doesn't have a 14.3 time slip then it's likely he never ran that. Have the eclispe race one of the other cars and see what happens, narrow down your compettiton that way..


Rich kids who are proud of their cars an think that their car is the shiznit, always say their cars run at least 1 sec quicker than it really does.

People who are looking to race you for money and whoop your *** always say their car runs 1 sec slower that it really does.

Good I am glad to be stupid.. just saying that half of those fools are probably making up times in their head about what their cars run..

Great, rich little ***** and horsepower.....Who wants to place bets on who dies first.....
