-First your guys cars a great and all, but... about the 80 to 110 race, RX-7's are geared more for 0-60 times because of my next point.
is an accounting reason for their being slow stock.
- ANd last, just a little thorn in your side. The Siguel racing RX-7 is the world's quickest Pro Class Racer with a 7.33@ 179 m.p.h defeating the Hoyos Racing Ford Focus (with the mustang engine in it) with i must say a too close 7.389@ 189.1m.p.h. Yikes. Maybe next year guys!

Hmm, I always thought it was the other way around? Could be wrong here but I beleived the Rx7's esp. the 3rd gens were geared well for the 80-100 race, rather than the 0-60. if they were meant to be a 0-60 car then why not more torque? I had a few friends w/ them and they just wasnt impressive to say the least out of the hole shot. They were pretty quick from a roll however, and this is where I could actually see the car shine.
BTW, a 7.33,,pretty fast eh? esp 179mph, however the focus seems to have more potential with 189mph wouldnt you say? besides I dont think your "one race theory" here stands a chance when thinking rationally..LOL, I can name many times an Rx7 would lose to a mustang. BTW is that the fastest Pro Race class rx7? Might wanna check out pro 5.0 mustang class, which runs actual mustangs with mustang motors, and heavier than most rx7 track cars. Last I checked these cars were well into the 6.8's@ over 200mph, maybe faster but I havent checked back on them in a few months...LMAO
whatever dude Rx7's are a decent car, but they are NOT everything nor the greatest, maybe thats one of the reasons the WANKLE RX7 ( eghem) motored cars wasn't brought back into the U.S? Overpriced? unreliable? you tell me? And btw your not gonna win an import arguement on a mustang board coming over here posting 7.3 ET numbers from an Rx7 and laughing at how much your downpipe give your cars. I would be willing to be if I had a stock set of headers on my supercharged cobra that a set of long tube headers, equivalent to your downpipe would give me just as much hp and torque gain as your modification did.
Compare apples to apples not oranges to apples.
