Question RX7 question (new to rotary)

I'm a big DSM fan and my mom has sold some real estate of ours and is helping me with another car...I either want to go with another DSM (97 GST) or a 3rd gen RX7...my question is, how much can the stock turbo(s) put to the wheels? and where is a place where I can find specs and info about rotary's? Thanks

search the forum, and check out those three sites above for your answers.

and what exactly do you mean by your mom helping you out with another car?

If you are younger than 20 years old then buy the Eclipse. If you are over 20 then buy the RX-7.

An RX-7 is too much car for the youth of today. I will get them in trouble/hurt.

Not to sound like a dick in anyway..I have a lot of respect for RX7's, I respect them more than any MKIV, TT Z32, Cobra, etc...but DSM's are high capable cars...I had my 1G trap a 108 with $600 in mods. Now I understand you saying that because I know very little about rotary...

on the stock twins someone broke into the 10s in the 1/4 mile

You can get 350rwhp out of them but you are pushing it and anything above that is really asking for just a single turbo at lower psi

the rx7 doesn't respond as well to mods as the car you want or a supra and it will be much more expensive to get the rx7 as fast as those cars from stock.
