I have a friend who has a 93 RX7 twin turbo with a catback and down pipe, and some other small mods to the intake. He's ran a best of 14.0 or so @ 98 or 99mph. he along w/ other rx7 owners seem to beleive that these cars are almost unbeatable, especially from a highway roll. He raced a friends 95 cobra, when the cobra only had a catback and hpipe, and the cobra beat him 1 out of 2 races, and my friend used the excuse he wasnt seeing any boost.
I know they handle well, and are fairly fast from a roll since they are so light and have 255hp.
Ive also ran into a friend of his who had a down pipe, catback, computer, 12lbs of boost, and intake (possibly). We ran on the interstate when all I had was 3.73's, offroad hpipe, flowmaster mufflers, and pulleys and I hung w/ him from about 50-110 where I HAD to shift into 5th gear, then he pulled like crazy. He pulled a little on me from 50-110, but not much at all. Now the guy has an intercooler, some other intake, fuel system and possibly something else. He wants to run again and supossedly he thinks the car will go in the 11 second range in the 1/4. Shouldnt I be able to destroy him from a roll, and in the 1/4 mile now w/ my mods??
