what year for both???

For example, a stock 87 non turbo RX-7 will pretty much beat a stock 87 Civic SI in a heartbeat.

well a stock 86-88 non turbo RX-7 does 0-60 in around 7.0 to 8.0 seconds depending on what model and who tested it.

This means a new stock Dodge Caravan or new stock Honda Accord will beat it quite easily.

So, you really need to figure out what car you want and what car you might break the law street racing against.

And you will look like a Dumb *** if you street race, regardless of if the car does 0-60 in 3 seconds or 20 seconds.

Lol. Mark ftw.

But it does have a lot to do with driver ability to. I owned on a turbo porsche on the twisties in sebastopol in my 89 n/a. Stock for stock, shoulda got myself butt raped but the guy couldn't drive his car so he just couldn't catch up unless we were on the straights.
