(he doesn't have power steering, A/C, and obviously the stock exhaust weighs a lot. Also stock weight is 2789). He also informed me that w/ water injection (doesn't have yet) he would be able to run 17-20 psi (421 rwhp +) on pump gas. With these numbers and slicks he should be able to get into the high 10's, trapping around 127-130. This is not unheard of b/c my brother has seen it done plenty of times w/ these numbers. Guys w/ 350 rwhp Rx-7s have and are capable on high 11's passes. This is made possible b/c the 93+ Rx-7s came stock w/ a 4.11:1 final drive ratio, allowing for very quick acceleration.That was probably the R1, not the base one.
On top of this, just to give some history that I was unaware of, when the 93 Rx-7 first came out, it set a lot of performance records for that year.(car+driver, etc). On stock sized tires (225 z-rated all around) it pulled 1g on the skid pad and had a 60-0 braking of 110ft. And remember, this was back in 1993, more than 10 years ago.

But yeah, I want one too. But with an LS1. That rotary's bound to pop eventually, so might as well sell it while it still runs.
