^^ I'm lazy to go into discussion with you. Stock for stock RX7's are not faster then the GTR around circuit track. I've only seen "ONE" video where the stock RX7 took the win against other stock JDMs. Otherwise I've seen like 20 videos of stock GTR vs. stock RX7 battles together on track and guess what the RX7 always ends up last.

Don't get me wrong the RX7 FD's are great cars but the problem with the stock RX7 is the power. Stock base simply needs a bit more power, otherwise it'd kicks ass.

As tuner cars RX7 FD3S does the corner a bit better but the GTR is superior in traction and corner exit. If you watch the tuner cars RX7 FD's vs. GTRs they're pretty close to equals on track. Take a look at the Tsukuba Super Lap Battle for the JDM tuners, the top 3 are EVOs, Skylines and RX7s. As overall performer Jack of all trade tuner car the Skyline is ALOT better.

One of the reasion RX7 tuners can't make huge power as the GTR tuners around circuit track is because of the reliability and the heat problem + plus durability. Even though the RX7 tuners tendence to have less power then the GTR tuners battling out on track the competion is still fear. Other words the RX7 makes less power BUT it's ALOT lighter so power to weight ratio are pretty the same.

From this video it's obvious who's the winner. Street racing on street tires racing from a dig you can't expect to beat a Skyline. The RX7 dude should've known that he was already doomed before the race started.
