I already know all of the realiablity mods so you dont need to mention that to me, i have been lookin for an RX7 for like 2 years so i have learned quite a few things. I know i need to find out the boost pattern and plan on it soon.

Doesn't matter how well they said they took care of it.

Yeah RX-7's don't launch to well from rest. Wheel hop is awful, but there are mods to correct that. Many AWD cars don't launch so well either. Even the mighty AWD Lambo's. Too much traction keeps the motor from reving into the power band at launch so the 1/4 mi times are deceiving low.

There is a stock 7 in NC that ran a 13.1. He is on the forum and has a timeslip. I have heard that a good driver can get a stock 7 into the low 13's.
