The Gen III RX7 TT was a 14 flat car. Trap speeds right about 100mph even.

It had a very good hole shot potential due to the 2800lb curb weight, but the car really fell off about 80mph or so. Race one with a bone stock fox body GT from 80-120. The GT will beat it with a competent driver.

Rated 255hp, 217lb/ft. The thing to note is the really narrow powerband on those cars. The keep accelerating to a higher top speed than the Mustang, but it's a drag thing, not a power thing. Their IRS robs more power than a solid axle car like the Mustang, so that's a big deal for RWHP. Also worth noting is they are junk after about 80,000mi. Kiss performance goodbye. That and reliability is rather poor, and when it does break, parts are super expensive. There's a reason that neat little car didn't sell for **** here....
