Did some quick research on the net..

Both from 1993 model years:
RX-7 0-60 (5.1) 1/4 mile (13.9) Skid-pad (.91-1.02.. depending on model).. but since the VR4 is the top 3KGT model, i guess the 1.02 would be the number for comparison)

3KGT VR4 0-60 (5.3) 1/4 mile (14.00... .01 slower) Skidpad. .90


Both from 1997 model years:
RX-7 0-60 (4.8) 1/4 mile 13.5 Skid pad .99
VR4 0-60 (4.8..same) 1/4 mile 13.6 (still slower) skid pad .90

So, can you come up with any other spec you would like to see numbers proving RX-7 superiourity.

I am not being offensive, just setting the facts straight, numbers don't lie.
FIrst off numbers really mean nothing...... $ for HP RX-7 has the car beat. Just look up the basic mods on any rx7 or 3kgt enthusist site. the 3k GT is going to be a little more to mod especially the exhaust. As far as weight and handling, ive driven both cars moderatley modded and the RX-7 felt allot tighter. The 3kgts have the tranny welded on the bottom of the car and allot of work requires this to be unwelded and rewelded on there both pricey cars to maintain and are both awsome so whatever you choose you have good taste in cars my friend
