U should be more specific about inport drivers. Us rotary guys are awsome. But we hate pistons so.

HOLY CRAP!! that vid was shot like 5 minutes away from my house. Austin TX baby. Im pretty sure that viper is owned by a guy named maxwell. he owns a bunch of dealerships here like dodge and ford stuff. his slogan is "maxwells got the trucks" hehe. ive never seen that IS 300 but damn i would love to meet him.

those rx-7s werent very modded at all, viper is a viper, nad that is a hella built 2jz in that sc300....

and i disagree about the 2jz owning the 13b..... a 1.3 liter that can do a near 200mph with a few mods isnt to shabby, sure the 2jz can do that as well but its a 3 liter motor, its nearly triple the size of the sevens motor... ive had my rx7 doin 180 @7000 rpms... i have 1500 revs left with only a 5 speed, the supra has 6 gears and hit around the same top speed


cliff notes:
rx7 has 1/3 the motor of the supra and one less gear and it goes just as fast if not faster


"owned"

areodynamics, weight, and powerband have to do with top speed. Cause my '70 Olds. Cutless Supreme could do 180 mph, and that may have 4 times the motor but it also has 4 times the weight, no areodynamics, and it had a 4 speed automatic, so does that mean that my Olds. rules your Rx7?

I hate when rotary fans bring up a displacement thing. They are two totally different combustion principals so you cannot directly compare them. It's apples and oranges.

Considering you can swap an LS-6 V-8 into a 3rd gen RX-7 and have it weigh no more than with the 13b, what the hell advantage does this small displacement afford you? It sure isn't fuel economy or reliability.

The weight of a car has basically no influence on top speed. Horsepower to the wheels, rolling resistance, and aerodynamic drag are basically the only factors.

Thanks for the correction, I knew it was something like that.

With that said, that Olds must have had a ton of power.

hahahah... i love bringing up the displacement thing, cuz it pisses everyone off.... yea i was a lil ****ed up when i posted that last nite..... but in the import world the rx7 and supra both rule the highway..... i was rolling around with a guy who races subarus in houston the other day and his subaru is fully built and he was gettin all mad cuz he was toppin out fifth gear at 145 and i was like im goin in fifth around then

[new_formula_S2K]

this is off topic but what do u guys think is better the SC300 with V6 or the SC400 with a V8. I guy down the street is selling a sc400 and i also saw a sc300 for sale for about the same price.

Yeah, subies suck on the highway because of poor drag coefficient and AWD drag.

SC300 with a supra motor. But rotarys own!

It was pretty quick, I would eat a '82 scottsdale w/ a 4-speed, 350 (with a mild rebuild), and 3:73s in a race from start to finish, not bad for highway gears.
