When I was a kid, I crashed an IROC and only had next to no money to replace it. I bought an '85 RX-7 GS and it was garbage. It totally under-impressed me with it's performance.

Now, having gone through a Honda Prelude VTEC, and now a BMW 3-series (surprisingly, faster than the Honda), I'm ready to get back to a fast car, and am looking at the RX-7 (third gen).

I've looked through the newbie threads, and searched the site, but I had no luck, thoough I'm sure most of you could answer this in your sleep:

What ar ethe HP/Torque/Curb Weight ratings of stock 3rd-gen RX-7 Twin Turbos?

I realize that they take to mods pretty easily, but I'd like to know where I'll be starting.

Thank you.

Thank you. Were the numbers for 1994 and 1995 the same?

The car is a MUCH more solid performer than the 1st gen but it comes at a cost. I don't know where you got the idea these cars take to mods 'easily' but I think you were misinformed. They respond great as far as making power goes, but it all comes at a cost.

Most everytime you mod the car you're geting what's called the snow-ball effect. When you do one mod you have to mod something else and something else and so on. For example, when you get into a full exhaust and intakes you'll experience boost creep, so you'll need an upgraded ECU. If you want to go higher on the boost safely you'll also need an upgraded intercooler. The list really continues on.

Not meaning to scare you away, because they're amazing cars to own. Simply informing you of what you're geting into. Also, don't expect them to be reliable, because they aren't.
