Are we still entertaining this fool? Well he has finally convinced me with all his ricer logic. I am in the process of throwing my LS1 in the garbage (maybe someone with a blown rotary engine is looking for an engine that actually works) and am installing a 13B to lay the smack down on the whole world. Thank you LSNADS7 for making me see the light. Your mission in life is almost complete you only have to convince the rest of the world of your utter stupidity. Theres a reason your post count is stuck at 6. BS doesnt get counted.

and i wouldn't say a 93-95 7 is slow, in my opinion, way ahead of its time; still competing with "the big dogs." don't throw he-said-she-said "facts."

In its day it was very ahead of its time. Sequential turbo's for an RX7's price, unbelievable. The system worked well too, though it's not the best for raw power it makes a better overall car than the big turbo swaps.
However those cars are notoriously unreliable. At least in the sense that they require far more maitenance and expense to keep in top running shape than many engines of similar or greater power output. That is a result of their complexity, poor heat managment, and inherent problems with the rotatry's design.
Great overall car, and if I were to happen upon one down the road that was a decent and unmolested runner I'd definetly think about picking it up for a few years of fun.

And the twin turbo rx7 did run a 13.8 too bone stock according to 3 magazines. It's trap speed was higher than the 300zx, and stealth turbo.
