i can drive. i could have pulled a little more out of it, but i wasn't looking to abuse the clutch. i was just sidestepping it ~3000-3500 rpm. my 60' reflected that as they were in the 2.5s range. when i get a new clutch i'll likely go back. i could probally get a 2.3 60' out of it(3.909 rear end, why did mazda have to put the 3.909 with sticks in the 88 vert...)

nope, no other mods at all. tires, i think they are fairly good. with a ~3000 rpm sidestep they would spin for maybe 1/4-1/2 second then catch.

i've got an S4 so i'm pretty sure there is no VDI to be working. the 6pi, i suspect they are working, but i suppose i could put a but of grease on there to check(powerband seems like they are working, but i could be wrong) and before getting rid of the stock exhaust, i saw them moving with a hard rev in netural.

almost forgot, your 91 coupe has a 4.10 rear end(the 88 verts got the auto 3.909 with a 5 speed) and you've got an S5 160 HP vs my 146(stock vs. stock of course) in addition to being ~250-300 lbs lighter

17s is kinda weak , usually stock u can run 16s easily even a high15 if your car is lightweight and u can shift good (although u have the heaviest one the vert)
i expect to run mid 15's in my car and even less once i get more stuff done and learn to drive better

Gotta start somewhere. 
I drove a '91 vert for a while (gave it to my sister for Christmas), those numbers seem about right for the '88. Personally, I think the verts are a bit disappointing numbers-wise. But what can you do?

lol, i got it cause i needed a car and a red 'vert rx-7 plopped into my lap. it was the second one i had ever seen and the price was right. i wasn't concerned about speed. the car i was planning to get was an AW11 Mr-2
