10s in an ex-rotary
10s in an ex-rotary Hello,
I'm mostly a lurker on this forum, but I thought some might be interested to see that folks are running mid-10s in an LS1 RX7 with a small 62-1 turbo:

10.6 was the best pass of the day.
(I am building one of these, hence my interest. I always find it amusing to hear someone talking about shaving 50 lbs off a 3600 lb Camaro. The LS1 Mazda is just over 2800 lbs.)

Nice times! I would love to know more about this conversion. Is there a shop offerring this? Converted cars for sale? I think the 93+ rx7 bodies were some of the coolest cars, styling wise, ever built. Putting a turbocharged LS1 into one would be insane. I would love to duplicate my engine combo (LS6 w/ T76 GTS turb0) in a 2,800 lb RX7. I am extremely interested. Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

The car later that day supposedly ran 10.40's in the high 130's with a 6speed.
With a T-76 that car would be a handful. All passes were done on the new 255/50/16 M/T drag radials as well and they were able to cut a 1.3x or 1.4x 60' later that day on them.
I have to get my project completed here like Hyperion.

Thanks for the offer, but in an excercise in throwing cash down a bottomless pit I'm going with the 03 Cobra pumpkin which uses a different driveshaft and eliminates the torque arm.
