Got owned by my girlfriend!
So yesterday I was following my gf home from the bank and we pull up at a red light next to eachother. She has an 04 pontiac sunfire which is actually pretty quiclk...but not as quick as my 7...or so I thought. So the light turns green and I get the jump on her since her car's an auto and we go flying down the street. Well one i hit third gear it was like neck and neck all the way till her car governed out at 120 lol...I thought my car was faster then it is. Granted it's an 86 n/a with 150k miles but comeon, a sports car vs some 4 cylinder GM garbage. I guess the moral of the story is I NEED A TURBO!!!!

naaa with your NA and transmission you are putting maybe ... if your lucky 98 HP to the ground. Are your 5/6 ports working? You dont need a turbo, you need to get a 5 speed and a rebuild.
"The Ecotec I-4 generates 140 horsepower (104 kw) at 5600 rpm and 150 lb.-ft. (203 Nm) of torque at 4400 rpm."
I am not in any way surprised she can keep up with you.
But lets wait for ReTeds opinion.

Not very surprising.
An N/A car isn't very fast. ****, I drove an RX-8 yesterday that could've had its *** handed to it by a Honda Odessey full of fat co-workers down a straight stretch.
There's nothing exceptionally quick about a stock or very close to stock N/A RX-7.
They're not slow on the other hand, and they're very fun cars to track - but they don't have the torque to really get up and gone.

they dont make new engines any more. Doing a good rebuild is basically giving you a new engine. (if you get new housings and apex and everything) Also you can port it and do what ever mods you wish. Don't rebuild I Don't care... haha just don't be confused when a cavalier kicks your butt.

I had a foot race with my girlfriend in the 7-11 parking lot. We lined up by the gas pump. I got the jump on her (manpower>girlpower) and pulled about 6 or 7 steps on her. By the time we got to the door I hit about 15mph (governed).

Im raising the flag for two reasons:
1) My girlfriend's old 1999 sunfire was governed at 108mph, as were any other speed governed chevrolets that year. Maybe the newer ones have a higher limit, but even so......
2) Any road with a stoplight can't have a speed limit of more than 55mph. You expect me to believe that a girl (no offense ladies, keep reading) alone in her car raced down the road next to you traveling AT LEAST 65 mhp over the speed limit??? I don't know any women that are that stupid.
The only thing I do belive that a slow *** NA RX-7 will lose to almost any vehicle 18 years newer than it.

There's two kinds of girl drivers...ones that are afraid of driving and go 10miles below the speed limit, and then there's the ones that don't give a crap and drive like maniacs...im usually the one that tells her to slow down lol. I just got the damn car and i wanted to see what it could do. It's not like I think im in the fast and the furious.
