cooltint Member 686 Member For: 21y 8m 23d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast QLD Posted 29/07/06 02:36 PM Share Posted 29/07/06 02:36 PM Being a fan of the rotary engine and after having owned a number of rotary powered cars over the years including Series 1 and 4 RX7's, some modified some standard, I can tell you the only car a stock RX7 would keep up with is a NA XR6. They are good for mid to low 15 sec passes only in stock condition.My non turbo 13B Series 4 RX7 did 16 sec flat on the quarter mile. A modified version or even a turbo were much faster but not a stocky.The only way to be sure is to invite him to meet you at the drags and see what he can do. If he's not being truthfull, I'm sure he'll decline the offer.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 9m 21d Posted 29/07/06 03:39 PM Share Posted 29/07/06 03:39 PM I watched with interest as a new neighbour moved in across the road. He has an old Mazda RX7. Don't know the year model, but I'm guessing early 80s?Anyway, we got to talking about cars. When he came and had a look at the toxic beast, he said that he ran a Phoon at the lights the other day. He reckons it was so close he could see the fear in the Phoon driver's eyes.He assures me his car is as stock as a rock.So, could this be true? Is an old RX7 a match for a 2006 BF Phoon? Or has this guy got his hand on it?←If we pull this post apart, we see that he said that the race was close, so a bullsh*tter would brag and say who he whipped him. He said he could see the fear in the phoons drivers eyes, now if he was racing then he would have to behind to see the eyes iof the phoon driver. All good, this guy is legit.Scotty←sorry mate but you are so far of the ball its not funny, series 4 and 5 rx7's (series 5 being the quicker one) are no where near as quick as the phoon. not even as quick as a stock T. if the guy is legit, the phoon must have been driving with the hand brake on and the car been overboosting throwing it into torque limiting mode.

Even if it was a Series 5 Turbo he'd be flat out beating a stock XR6T.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
