Phoon Vs Old Rx7

[ZLAKLR]

think about it, a s4-5 RX7 may be low on power compared with the XR6T but it is a good 600KG lighter!

In saying that, I do beleve the xr is the quicker, standard s4s arent that quick, I have a standard (other than exhaust) as a run around and its boring compared with my 20B Cosmo, now that's more of a comparison for an XR6T, a 20B cosmo.

no way though an early s1,2,3 RX7 would beat an XR6 though with eqaul drivers.

I had a fat chick from work tell me that this lambo we saw parked does 0-300km/hr in just over 3 seconds. Obviously she didn't study physics.

some people have no idea.....

though my mate had a very fast (and modified) series 4.

←

Squeeze her in and drive it offf a cliff, 0-3oo in 3 sec flat.

It isn't possible in a car but a dragster will do it easily.

←

No the cliff won't do it.

It is only 0 to 108 km/h

- less if you factor in air drag.

I had a series 2 rx7 stock apart from the 13b bridgeport ran a 14.413@94.9mph first and only run never raced b4, im sure I could squeezed a bit more out of her with a few more runs, and if I had of pissed the bob jane all-rounders off

my mate at work has a s4 rx7 with a 10 second doweled turbo 13b running 8psi he ran a 14.8 after he tunes it he says he will do better.

the motor will take 20 psi. the gearbox will not

←

Can you tell me what a 10 second doweled 13b is, is that a 13b that will only run for 10 seconds, or takes 10 seconds to fire up, or the driver only last 10 seconds when he is with his lady friend in the back seat?, I cant see how it could have anything to do with the ability of the car to run 10 sec 1/4's, as you have noted it runs 14.8's.

My ute will do 9's , all I need, is some slicks, locker diff, tramp rods, front runners, loose 600kg, race fuel, 200rwkw more than I have and an nice manual shifting auto and a 3300rpm stally, but its a 9 second car, no sh*t.

cmon eugene the motor came out of a 10 second 1/4 mile nissan ute the owner upgraded to a 20b and sold the motor to my workmate who has detuned the motor so as not to destroy the gearbox and diff im sorry if I confused you

I knew exactly what you meant, just making a point, just cause my mates fathers uncle had a car with a 351 that did tens means my car with a 351 will do 10's too, that's all.

I stopped reading modded car mags a fair while ago, but after a stay on hospital a little while back, I was given a couple of street machine and zoom mags, chock-o-block full of wankers who have fitted thier cars with all manner of crap and "should" make 320hp, or this new bit I just added will get me to 400Hp, and it "should be Good" for a low 12 sec pass etc etc.

full of crap, if it hasnt been on the rollers, and run down the 1/4, dont even try to estimate what it should do, my car now has over 300rwkw, with lots of nice stuff, but the best it has run is 12.7, so is it a 11 sec car (cause my mate with less power ran an 11), or a 12 sec car?

Not a personal attack, just makin a point about wild claims and the cock heads who come along with them.

Now, im going for a drive in my 9 second ute.

Ooooops... can-o-worms..

I'm gonna start a new thread in chit chat 'bout a similar predicament....

[drcook]

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?

←

its sound like a wild, exagerated claim but, did you check if his car had neons? these things have to be considered!!.

You said you thought it was an early '80s RX-7, that would place it at about a Series 2 (Series 1 to 3 were that older original 'wedge' shape). I had a 'Gregg Hansford' special (apparently done by some Qld dealers) which was a 1983 Series 2 with a stock 13B, lots of ricey stuff (Recaros, Bilstein suspension, Compomotive mags, etc, etc) and a ridiculously large 3" zorst.

Anyway, it went very well for a 'stockie', but was certainly nowhere near as quick as even my XR6T (when it was stock, let alone now). So to imagine it would even begin to compete with a Phoon is just fantasy, if indeed it really is stock.
