are these cars...
 

really that fast??

Yes... otherwise we woulc not be racing them! The 1gens are the best! Well... At least I think so... :)

Faster than what? In stock form not really that fast but in the classes the race in they do very well.

+ 1

You need to define what fast is in order to get and answer

However compare them in there respective classes (price and year of production)
and you will find that they dominated the competition.

Also due to some favourable characteristics (light weight, well balanced, able to cope with more power) these cars are great to modify into whatever your version of fast is

you own one dont you? i think u can answer that one for yourself.

hahhaha, well i just needeed my post numbers up so i can be eligible to PM.. but hell yeah they're fast...

are RX-7s are in the number 1 and 2 top times of the day at almost every autocross, and were racing everything from Z06 vettes to turbo miatas, really fast driver and really fast classes to. and im tryin to get my posts up to. lol

haha your funny leland, the only reason your car is in the top time of the day is because you made up your own class!

and no, you don't beat zo6's, b/c they aren't in your class. besides yours is a turbo, so stay out of it lol

I race miata's and they send my '90 n/a running home with its tail between it's legs...it's sad really.

I guess the best answer to this guys question is my favorite saying "1.3 liters of fuel injected FURY!!"

...but in the car's defense, I DO love driving my 7. it's fun and somewhat unique (esp. for a chick to be driving a 7)

The seven's do very well, especially considering there age. Definitely a car ahead of it's time. BTW, i'm not trying to up my posts :P

fast?

rotarys are hitting high 6's in the quarter now. and still developing new techniques and getting faster. and many are in the low sevens. but those are tube chassis cars.

but there are rx7s in the 8's non tube chassis. Kilo from right here in orlando hit high 9's all motor a few years ago with a stock chassis. still with factory carpet and dash. all steel and only the doors had lexan instead of glass. and that was under old stupid rules.

fuck yeah there fast! lol...

but for stock, super slow in a strait line...

I eat Miatas for breakfast..... Well, except for one of them. But that bastard has a supercharger and race tires four feet wide! :)
