Come on man, you wanna know why a 160 HP AE86 beats a 350 HP STI? THE DRIVER! more power does not mean you will be faster unless you learn to handle that power, plus take the N/A off the highway and put it on some canyon roads thats where you will get the full potential out of the N/A not relying on its power but its cornering ability, or just get out of the RX game and buy your civic.

If you have low compression or a blow rotor your car is gonna be very very slow. Tried a compression test yet? something is wrong with your car , most NA Rx7s are more than a match for a civic.

something that you think should be slower is always going to be faster. there are some people out there (ahem) that think the idea of making an ugly car into an ego killer is a lot more fun than driving a car that people expect to be fast
just imagine how you would feel after running my pile
i paid 600$ for the rusty dented up shelli, but i guarentee you its faster than a lot of the nice boosted 7's on here.. all the while looking like a pile of trash
so dont get down on your car just because something else is faster, because no matter what you do, something uglier is always going to be faster than you anyway.. enjoy it for what it is

that may be but doesn't mean you have to accept it. these are sports cars so generally speaking the owners tend to have a competetive nature.. when you lose you just build it bigger, badder and faster.
it really just boils down to how big your wallet is as to who has the faster car.

I am currently saving for a T2 swap. I can't have mommy and daddy buy it for me like most of you. I have to work hard for all the stuff on my car. After rent, and all bills I have $50 a month to spend towards performance. I was just hoping that what I had bought was going to at least let me beat some cars.
I have lost to many many cars. 93 Probe GT(not stock), 96 Probe GT(stock), Civic EX(stock), Accord EX(stock).......
Hopefully my experiences with a T2 motor will be better.

Nexpo8 true word you said man I have a 98 hyundai elantra modded and be a sr20det s13 in VA he sold his car when I told him it was a hyundai that was priceless. MAn its all driver trust me that s13 was faster but driver was a FNF noob for proof he thought my elantra was a neon but whatever makes hime sleep better. And yeah get over it if you want to get a honda you weren't a true 7 head unless your just venting then u can redeem urself but if not go get a Honda.

Are you kidding? A civic? I used to live in your area and if you ask around you will probably hear about the white FC that used to eat everybody alive. I know the area very well and your problem is the fact that you are driving an N/A car. A stock T2 is faster than about 80% of the "racers and "autocrossers" in Ktsap county.
