A kid at school who is a die hard rx7 fan claims there is a stock rx7 that runs 11's. Is this true? Thanks!

 

He's probably talking about a RX-7 with stock turbos!

 

Well yes, he was talking about a twin turbo version. Any info?
im talking completely stock, no turning up boost or nothing, just straught from factory.

 

Unless that's 11 seconds in something shorter than a 1/4 mile... Everything completely stock with the car just as it came out of the factory, no it's not close to 11 seconds in the 1/4.

 

Thank you, I tried to tell him that it was more in the 13 second area, Thanks again.
Also while were here, what does the tach on a 87 rx7 go up to (just the basic model) because the kid at school said he reved his to 15 grand before. I know the rx7 can rev higher then normal engines due to few moving parts.

 

if he even took it close to 15,000 rpm's, it's blown up now. end of story. I don't care if he's a diehard rx7 fan, he's retarded, or just full of ****, most likely both.

 

NOT 15K

 

Ok thanks for clearing all this up, I thought most of it sounded fishy, sucks that kids like him have to be around to give the rest of us a bad name.

 

I think its safe to say that after he claimed the 11 second 1/4 mile bone stock, everything else he could/would say should be dismissed.

 

stock tach on base FC only goes up to 8k...

 

Well since everything else he said was wrong im going to guess when he said he was going 163mph down the interstate he was lieing to? His car is a stock 87 no turbos.

 

The specs for a us version 93 rx7 is 14 sec 1/4 mile and for a 89-91 rx7 turbo II is 14.4 1/4 mile so 11's I dont see happening

 

You should verrify if he meant a completelly stock rx7 or a stock motor rx7. With bolt on modifications and tunning a "Stock" meaning motor and turbos can do 11sec. But completelly stock, its a sports car not a supercar. As far a his car doing 167 or whatever he said thats bull**** its hard enough to do it in a modified rx7 you have to have a lot of power to pull it that far in the rpm's tomake that speed in a decent amount of road. Unless he was driving the salt flats for like 5 min in which his motor would probably blow before he got there.

lol stock tach on my FD only wnet up to 9

 

We were discussing completely stock cars at the time.

 

if he still has his legs then he didn't rev to 15K.

 

I'm sure a shift from 5th to 1st at say 150mph could spin that thing to 15k. I just don't want to be there when it happens. Prove him wrong with fact sheets or just ignore him. Thats what I usually do with most bullshitters, just let them talk even if they are wrong, at least they stop talking . . . eventually.

 

WOW a stock motor revving to 15k....u sure you werent talking about F1 cars at the time...?
