stock, the Z is pretty close to the RX7, and slower than the supra, BUT we all know many of those supras are putting out massive HP (modded), so the Z would get smoked!!

I have and 1993 RX-7 and a Performance Z. Since I drive both I can assure you my Z car will not slowly pull away from thr RX-7. The RX-7 has awesome acceleration from 80 MPH on up.

No, I am not asian I'm Italian American. Yes the RX-7 is faster than my Z car both in 0-60 and the top end. The RX-7 is a twin turbo with 255 HP and weights approximately 2800 lbs. It has sequential turbo's (a small and a large one) which virtually eliminates turbo lag. It is better handling since it is almost 400 pounds lighter. It is not a big difference but is noticable to someone who has driven both cars.

It's like saying the Z will beat an ls1 maro ss(if both drivers are equally skilled). Sure the Z weighs less than the Super Sport but it will still lose by a power/torque difference. Stock 93+rx7s run 14.3-14.7, ALRIGHT? WORD? The Z runs an average of 14.1. Sure, the Z and the rx7 might run even at some mph, but then the Z will start pulling away. Sure, twin turbo always has it's advantages, such as great top end, but in this case, the naturally asperated Z will PULL AWAY, WORD WORD WORD WORD WODRD
the best test of an rx7 was 13.7 @ 102.X, the worst I have seen is a 14.0, with the average being about 13.9.

In terms of handling, the rx7 will easily walk the 350Z. .98 skid pad #'s of the rx-7 tell the story.

both are nice cars.

I have done a 0-60 of 5.2 seconds and a quarter mile of 13.8 at 102MPH with my 1993 RX-7.

It's got the same bhp as the rx7, certainly it should have a faster 0-60 time because of the lack of turbo "spoolage"(rx8 is n/a). In fact, Car and driver gave the rx8 a 6.1 0-60 time. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? lee, quit defending your hoary import, the rx7 was nice for it's time, but it's time to move on. Your rx7 is running the same times as a 02 + maxima or altima.
You are an idiot. A stock 93+ RX7 will RAPE a 350Z. THe only stock 93+ Rx7's that ran 14's were the Auto's and the 237 HP UK version.

Grow up.

rape??? are we talking about teh same car?? the times I always saw were mid-low 5s (actually 5.5 seemed to be common) and about 101 MPH in 1/4, the Z has very very similar #s, I am not saying who will win, but rape????

btw, I like the RX7, I think it is a cool car and (still) looks very cool. I was driving next to one the other day (he was stopped next to a light and turning) and I said to my wife, "if I couldn't afford a new Z and wanted good performance, that is what I would have liked".

Between the RX and the M3 E36, those are some great cars for teh #.

An RX-7 will not rape a 350Z stock vs. stock. If you go by the seat of the pants feel, the RX-7 does feel very fast. Whoever commented about "no turbo lag" has got to be kidding though, this car is the definition of it. It has almost nothing until 3000 rpm or so, then the first turbo kicks in and it starts to pull but it isnt until 5000+ where the 2nd turbo kicks in that it finally wakes up. Once the 2nd turbo is spooling it feels very quick. If you drove them back to back you would swear the RX-7 is faster, but at the least they would be even.
The 1/4 mile times I have seen stock for the RX-7 are right around a 14.0@99 mph, right around the 350Z. The RX-7s are supposedly a lot easier to hook than a Z and it has been around a lot longer for people to get 13's out of them - just look at how many more 13 second timeslips are showing up now that people have had their cars for a while. If you run into one on the street, it would definitely be a driver's race.

Goto www.iluvmyrx7.com, then click on 3rd generation, click on articles, click on speeding beauties, click on page 5.

You will the RX7 ran 13.7 @ 101, ran 0-60 in 5.0 seconds flat.

Im not ******* the 350Z, I used to hate it, now I like it alot. I think the cars exterior is going to be a classic like the Rx-7.

the RX7 is a 13 second car, the 350Z is a 14 second car, its that simple. Also, once you mod either car, the Z has 0 chance.

Later.
