0-60 and power

[m3coupe]

Hi there, i\'m new to this forum and have been searching for this topic with no success so if it\'s been asked before, I apologise! Anyway, i\'m looking for the performance figures for the the RX7! I\'m looking to buy something in the region of a 93-96 car but can\'t find much info on standard ones! I\'m more interested in 0-60 and 0-100 times rather than top speed. As I currently have a M3, whatever car I get next is gonna need to out accelerate it, (who want\'s to go slower eh?) and the only cars I can think of at the moment in my budget are the RX, an EVO or a Supra TT so any help would be very much appreciated!!

supra is too hvy i wouldn\'t. Evo\'s are nice but they arnt an RX7 at the end of the day. Not sure of the figures but i do know that i have had a goog play in red nearly stock FD with M3\'s in the past.... FD all the way. once you go rotary you\'ll never go back to those upy downy things :chat

and welcome by the way

Performance of a stock car is:

power: 250 -260 bhp
0-60 is about 5.1 sec
and 0-100 would be about 14 sec at a guess!!

Sorry wasn\'t thinking!!! I\'ve edited my 0-100 ( I wasn\'t hinking or typing straight!!!)

Christ, they come on song a bit after 60 then! I\'ve never been in a RX before and i\'ve never raced one in the BM so I honestly have no idea on there performance! As i\'ve seen some really smart kits for the RX, thinking it\'s favourite at the moment!

Errr.....

I think that\'s a little optomistic.

Stock quarter mile has to be high 13\'s / low 14\'s.

If it did 0-100 in 8.5 secs, you\'ld be in the 11s for sure !!

[McCARTHY]

you wouldn\'t be disapionted

Agreed. 8.5 0 - 60 is a very fast road car.

My friend had an m3 evo and even when I was having boost problems so running at about 85% power on a stock car there was nothing in it, on the twisties I\'d leave him easily, a slightly tuned RX should walk over a M3

[m3coupe]

Ok, so 8.5 to 100 is a little ambitious but either way it still has some speed in it? Funny thing is I hardly ever break the speed limit and don\'t drive on Motorways ever so I wouldn\'t get to go anywhere near 100 but it\'s just nice to have it there just in case!

If I remember some of the Type R model\'s come with 280 bhp and they do 0-60 in about 4.9 ?

Think thats only on the later cars.... late 90\'s

Some of their figures appear to be a bit sus........ R33 Skyline GTSt aparantly has the same performance as the 92 -96 rex........ I beg to differ on that one!!

[chrisJDM]

rx7 0-60 5.2 276bhp
skyline gts r33 5.9 246bhp
