i just found a website with a bunch of stats. First the 04'sti has 300hp-300tq. and does 0-60 in 4.8 and 1/4 13.36@102.5 1/2 21.27@123.5 top out at 154. the 93' rx7 has 255hp-217tq and does 0-60 in 5.1 and 1/4 13.70@102.2 1/2 20.05@127.8 tops out at 172. so there you go the sti has it untill the 1/2mile. Anywase i was just wondering cause my friend has a 93 rx7 w/15lbs.boost and was at the race track and wanted to race an sti that was there but never got a chance to race or see what it ran. but anyway my friend ran a 13.4

i say the sti all the way to even the 1/2, though the rx7 has a higher top end than the sti the sti would be so far in front at the 1/4 i believe that it would take more than another 1/4 for the rx7 to catch it.
and i always thought the rx7 ran more like 14.1? |

You're right, thats why I want to see that link, to see where it came from and determine if the info is trustworthy.
How much HP does the jdm MR2 have? |

come on guys...use the cranium you were given
ok.....this is rediculas....bot the rx7 and the sti are on the top of my list for cars.....but the rx7 would most definatly lose at least till the 1/2 mile...and I am not too sure about that rx7 having a top speed of 172....here are a couple of links to settle my case...
http://rx7.voodoobox.net/infofaq/rx7specs.html http://www.engine-power.com/subaru/impreza_wrx_sti.html not that its not possible that the rx7 COULD beat the STI in the long run, the only thing that would allow an rx7 to beat the STI is the driver bringing the revs as far up on the tach as possible, every gear, without over driving the motor..... |

The RX7's top speed is rated at 155mph. Both the STi and RX7 put up fairly similair performance numbers but (cost being no option) I'd have to go with the STi just for the sound. The RX7's sound so raspy when you really get on it whereas the STi has a nice, deep rumble. I'm in Japan and I was behind a TommyKaira STi on my way home and that thing was shaking my windshield.

Re: who's the fastest 1/4?
Is my RX-7(95, any difference with 93?) that fast?
But I was smoked by a Cobra before... when we both started at the same time... |

Re: who's the fastest 1/4?
Your car should be that fast. Was his Cobra brand new? There's a big difference between the 2003 Cobra and the ones previous. Is your car modified? Maybe he got a better launch. A Cobra is tougher to launch but easier to shift because of the broader torque curve inherent in a V8. Rotaries tend to be very picky about shift points because they have a narrower powerband. Have you been able to look at a dyno for an RX7 TT? You need to see exactly what rpm it makes peak horsepower and torque because the space between those points is your "powerband" and is where you need to be. You upshift at your peak horsepower rpm and the next gear should land somewhere around or at least as high of an rpm as your peak torque rpm.
