The RX7 is a serious proposition.

It can challenge the R33 GTR on both strip and track. The two cars have very different driving characteristics and styles.

For very little the RX7 is put into low 12's on the 1/4 and factory stock is superior to the GTR as a track car with reasonable endurance. In the first bathurst production series (93/94?) the RX7 raced the R32 GTR I believe and the 'others' and beat them. It went on to dominate for the next few years in that particular area.

Both cars is a cult in their own right. Really depend on you want to set up the car for i reckon. I have seen mad RX7s drifting like no tomorrow and mad GTRs runing like crazy down the drag strip. But than again RX7 are great for the drags as well. GTR have the advantage of the Attessa and probaly have more grip but other than that both cars are SICK. I think the RX7 are sexier and the GTR are more meaner ;)

That is debateable, but whatever the case, the Supras, NSXs, and GTRs tend to dominate the JGTC in Japan. Looking at the results of rounds 1-3 it's GTRs, NSXs, or Supras in the top 5, with the best RX7 result being 18th in round 3.

JimX,

JGTC, does not provide a real insight into the 'true' car. I mean none of those things are even remotely like the road going versions.

Talking as you drive on the Australian road, the RX7 is more than a match.

18th isn't a bad result for the 1.3 litre chooker.

    • Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
