Default rx7/8 vs 5.0

well today on my way home a see some kind of import in my rear view mirror.. so of course im willing to go no matter what it it... it was a 2 lane ro(1 each direction) and i was in front of him... so from the light i hit it... and he sits... nails it.. flys up my ***... drifts back... flys up my *** again, and so on and so on... now i could easily hear a turbo charger spoolin... and didnt expect to win at all... really my question is, are rx7s or rx8s(cant remember which, one of the two) turbo charged? as far as i understand there quick stock... so w.a turbo... if thats not stock... this car had to be a beast...

RX-8's are N/A and run mid 14's all day.

Not sure about the RX-7. But you could easily spot the difference between the two.

Yup, RX-7s were boosted and are AWESOME cars. I mean they have TONS of potential.

the RX-7 is one of the few imports I will say it's up to the driver if it's rice.... because stock later models look like pure sex

The last Gen rx-7 is a beast. Looks are amazing, its LIGHT, and it has a 255 hp TT 1.3 liter rotary. If it was an older turbo, they are still fast, i dont know weight or hp on them though. I know more about the last gen ones cuz they are one of the few imports i would want. Theyr nice...

Has a car company ever dissapointed as much as Nissan did by having the overpriced, overrated RX-8 replace the beautiful, underrated RX-7?
