Default 88 Rx7

What are some stats on an 88 RX7? The guy that wants to bang my girl at her work just bought one of these. He has already claimed he has had it up to 130. I don't know if it is N/A or not. Any help is appreciated!

Hmm... I don't know... if there was some guy wanting to bang my girl I think I would be a little flattered. As long as the guy kept his hands to himself and didn't harass her. Then its on like donkey kong...

Umm... 88 RX-7's are SLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWW... I wouldn't doubt it if you could beat one.

I had a GTU rx7 for a short while. It was fun to drive but in no way fast. Now if you drop in the 350 conversion...you got something that can be quick.

I see this as the larger issue at hand. Time for the baseball bat mod.

It all depends on if she is a "willing participant". If that is the case then she needs to find the curb.

Ok, there is a guy with a motor swap that runs 11's in one of those mazdas. Could be faster. From a personal experience, WATCH THOSE THINGS!. make sure it IS IN STOCK FORM. Otherwise you will be posting a death instead of a kill. Anyone know what Rotary is?

There is a ton of quick RX-7's but there must be a formula too, for every quick RX-7, there is 2 or three broken down. I know about five or so in this state. One is a 88 which is rather quick, keeps up with my car stock. [Mind you I'm not at sea level and he has upped his boost and has some other work done] but his car breaks all the time. My friends 87 is the same way. New RX-7's seem to be able to run longer, but break too. Triangles for motors, what can ya say? lol

rotary = junk
88 rx7 turbo or N/a - Junk
Dude looking to bang my Gf,,, = broken jaw/nose/eyesocket
The 93-up Rx7s which all were twin turbo, in stock form can barely brack 13.9s. the 87-92's are turds.

the proper formula is: For every fast rx7 (which is only ls1 powered ones ) theres 10 or more broken ones. Seriously, ***** a joke on rx7forums.com it seems everyday i see " i think shes gone" "i killed her" "smokes really bad and runs poorly" **** cracks me up.

I have no idea what my car runs right now. I know it beats GTP's from about 30 up. Beating him up? I am not that big of a guy. 6 foot and 145lbs. I'll just get out my nightstick and woop some ***. I know he won't be getting anything. I haven't even tapped into her yet. Well, thanks for the help eh...

If I do a 10 second inhale off a permanent marker I have next to my PC then I can twist my thinking enough to believe that your referring to modding your car.

you are right, most of them are pretty slow but there are some that are very fast. Those 2nd gen RX7s have 13B if they are turbo you might have a problem. I have a friend with a 74 RX3 with a 13B streetport with a 2nd gen stock RX7 turbo. he is running 11.5s all day and about your G/F i would get on that **** ASAP, send that Asswhip to the hospital. thats what i would do
