86 gxl vs 82 corvette

-1986 rx7 gxl fc3s s4
-intake
-ported and polished intake runners
- butterflys removed
-profiled and polished throttle body
-exhaust
-no cats
- 2" to the y 2.25" to dual apexi mufflers
-weight reduction ~100lbs
-no a/c
-no power steering
-no power windows
-handling
-race beat front and rear swaybars
-front strut brace
-trans
-5-speed s4 n/a trans
-resurfaced flywheel
-new hd clutch

im pushing around ~150hp on a engine with 160k on it

-1982 corvette c3
-100% oem stock

he was pushing ~205hp on a engine with 130k

i kept getn the jump on the launch, off the line at the launch and get a good lead going but after 2nd gear he would start to reel only reason i could keep up with him was the fact his ride was around 3200lbs 3360lbs with driver. i knew i could hold him in the turns but straight line was suprised to hold him off but not by much from 0-100mph i won 2 out of 3 with a car length or less.... with this in mind and the stats i got of the net it was definitely a drivers race. here the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for both stock. either way it was nice to beat a v8 american muscle at its own game with 1/4 less hp.on a side note the 82 corvette was one of the slower ones made but still i beat a 5.7ltr v8 with a 1.3ltr 13b!

car / 0-60 / 1/4 mile /

corvette 82 / 9.2sec / 16.6sec /
rx7 gxl 86 / 8.5sec / 16.5sec/

Yeah those late 70's and early 80's corvettes were DOGS. It was the worst era you can imagine for Corvette(one that should never have happened).

Good kill non-the-less.
