sounds like something might be wrong with your car.. what year and crap is it.. we need info. v6 mustangs are teh slow sauce. go turbo and you wont have a problem with those or the v8's make sure your 5th and 6th ports are working. basicly if you feel power all the way to red line then there is nothing wrong. maybe just a low compression engine.. but if youwer power drops off like at 4500rpms then something is wrong

sounds like a thread that needs to be put to death. This is the second one like this TODAY!! This is what happens when kids are out of school.

your RX-7 Stock puts out about.. say.. 160is HP (I dont remember the exact numbers).. That mustang puts out about 230 ish. Thats really the reason you got raped... Go turbo and some performance mods and you will be able to keep up/beat the stang.

I have a hard time believing a V-6 'Stang puts out 230 hp. More like 200, isn't it?
Regardless, a N/A 13B will have a tough time.
When I had my '86 FC, I raced a mid-'80s Camaro that had a 305 in it. The "race" was simply when I went to pass him, and he romped on it and wouldn't let me. So I just kept in it, he did too, we stayed neck and neck to 80, then 90, all the way to about 115 or so and....he blew his engine! It was glorious!

The point is, that V8 had around 190 hp and 275 ft./lbs torque, in a much heavier car, and all I could do was stay even with him.

my NA lost to a V6 mustang. it was the 2nd day i had my 1st 7. it was fun, but yeah. i got beat. it was a 2004 i think im not sure.

Ya there is nothing wrong with your car.

Despite the fact that the 7 can't lose, you were outmatched.

2002 Mustang: Curb Weight: 3241 lbs, Horsepower: 260 hp, Torque: 302 ft-lbs.

Definitely no chance against that.

2006 Mustang V6: Curb Weight: 3373 lbs, Horsepower: 210 hp, Torque: 240 ft-lbs.

Better chance against that, but still depending on your year you are at best 17.5 lb/hp. Even the heavy V6 is 16 lb/hp, and it is newer than your 7, so it will be making the advertised power.

Yea, there's nothing "wrong" with your car, other than it's slower than a V6 'Stang...but my FC is too so....crap.

only problem is you need a turbo.

If you have an S5 you can make an NA just about as fast as the mustang, but it'd be easier and more expandable to go with a turbo swap.

I have beaten the V6 mustangs... but I am slightly modded. I was beating them with just an exhaust. The V8 mustangs own me though..... even now, modded a lot.

I just assumed that because my NX2000 could get the V6 Mustangs, that the Rx-7 could but...no dice, not enough low end in the 13B. RX7TyreBurna, are you in a S5 ? Because I have RB downpipe & pre-silencer w/ cat back and still have trouble.

fd3s_jerry

go turbo. it's a sign. like one of those flashing neon ones. it says "BOOST OR DIE". there ya go, prob solved.

this reminds me of when i had my S5...

It was quick, almost stock t2 quick, but some V8s were just too much for it...

So I jumped into a FD lol
