Is there anyone besides myself that admire the 3rd gen TT? How could you not enjoy 0-60 in 4.9 sec, light, nimble and able to out corner almost any production car then and now. :nuts:

For those that don't regularly absorb RX-7 info.... what exactly is a 3rd gen TT? Any pics... or factory specs?

0-60 in 4.9 makes for some fun stop-light racing.:thumbsup:

I imagine it's the last iteration of the RX-7 with a twin turbo set up.
I've always like those 3rd gen cars. Too bad they're not available anymore. Also, I've often thought they took some design cues from the C2.

i posted it right above your reply .i believe its 4.9,been a while,ditch the run flat tires and that number goes down to about 4.5,maybe a tad more.im curious to see what the rest of the run for the RX,we know the c5 starts screamin after 60mph.
hey NoVette4Me,do you have any pictures?motor also:stick: whats 1/4 mile,top-speed etc...

you lucky dog you,i hear the lines can get long,but thats the price you pay to run on a good track,ever run your 85 before?

 

[BAD civic]

i havent run there yet, but i hear good things all my friends love cars, drag racing and stuff, thats who i got into it, im working on my car right now so i might not be able to run it until next summer, my cousin has a typhoon and he went for a couple times, wow man i think his truck is faster than my car in terms of drag racing no joke, thanks for pumping me up, i cant wait to go:cheers:

a guy in a club out here has a Syclone,runs mid-13s and gives me a run for my money,his all wheel drive rocket jumps way out on me(like racing a car with slicks)then right before the end i go by and barely win.

Todd we must have been typing at exactly the same time! Thanks, I had a feeling the STOCK C5 would still be able to take the RX-7 :thumbsup:

ZR_Don from here is turning 12.60's in his stock 1990 ZR1 (385HP)

I turned 12.7x's in my bone stock 96 LT4 car, at least 50 times I turned somewhere in the 12's. On a hot or sticky night, 13.0-13.5....

I've seen many stock C5's hitting high 12's when they ditch the run flat tires. Those things suck!!!

There are several stock 405HP Z06's running high-11's with a ET drag slicks. Tons of folks are running 12.0-12.4 on street tires.

:thumbsup:

There was a guy up at "the grove" running inconsistent times (he said it was normal for that truck). On the same night, his worst time was 13.6, his best time was 12.65. Frickin crazy! That thing launched like a frog!:thumbsup:
