Racing Beat RX-7...

Does anyone know of a site that has specs on the RX-7 that was run at the 1995 Bonneville Salt Flats @ 242 MPH??? I've been looking for a site with specs on it but all i can find is on the Racing Beat site with the picture of it and the speed it got 2! Thanx for your time and I hope u know where i can find it!

I'll take a look when I get home from work.

I have Racing Beat's Rotary Performance Guide and they have some info about it there. I know it was a 3-Rotor engine, and believe it had 3 turbos. I know they were building one with 3 turbos, but I'm not sure if that's the one they ran on the Salt Flats or not.

The Racing Beat car (actually owned by MAZDA) is a 3 rotor 3 Turbo w/ full tube frame. It produces over 900hp and about 180db man is it LOUD I had the pleasure of hearing it run at Sevenstock IV, I think its still at MAZDA R&D in Irvine CA but it also spends a lot of time at the HENERY FORD Museum in Dearborn MI.
