11's closer to sea level, here in calgary a zo6 is MUCH slower, (n/a car + calgary = big dissadvantage).

the corvette.
the RX-7 is too unreliable
the supra is too heavy
the 300ZX is too unreliable and heavy
the NSX is underpowered and has a pretty weak motor compared to the others
the Viper is too expensive

the Corvette has the world's most proven motor (small block Chevy), an awesome transmission (tremec t-56 I believe), great aerodynamics, a perfect curb weight, and a great price tag.

Viper has the tremec t65, and most svt cobra's have some sort of tremec 5* series tranny, not really an advantage there.

i cant believe you r puting the viper in the same catagory as those other cars..... its like a lambo compared to a fuckin civic...... if u have a chance of getin a viper that would be ur best bet, the only thing is the best is not cheap but its hella fun

Nearly the same weight distribution as a 13b, way more torque and more reliable.

Please tell me your joking...

Its been done, and now there is a company selling the subframe for the swap.

The weekest point in the FD is the engine. It is great stock but pops when modded. The LS6 with T56 tranny is one of the best drivetrains ever produced, why would you not want that in a light body that is one of the best handling vehicles ever made? Unless you are a purist that believes that an RX7 should have a rotary, but then I wouldn't know why you would modify any car if you believe it was better stock.

i would think that the ls1 wold throw off the balance of the car, or if you were to put it in far back and low enough in the engine bay that it would be a WHORE to work on. i would MUCH rather swap in a nice 4 or 6 cyl, but thats just personal prefrence.

What? The only true exotic of the group is the NSX. It costs twice as much as the rest.

^^ its easier than youd think, you can change out the cam without having to take the engine off its mounts beleive it or not.

on a side note; this thread is retarded, much like the majority of these newb replys.

weakest point??? if so then why would you buy a RX-7? Yes I do think that any RX should have a rotary, thats the reason why they were made, if you want mad power, the 20B would be a way better option imo.

The 20b is not a good option if you want to keep the RX7 an agile car. The whole amaizing turn in feel of the rx7 is lost with the 20b because it is so heavy (although it is great for straight line performance). The LS1 or LS6 being aluminium is actually not much heavier than the 13B with turbos and IC. In fact the weight distribution doesn't change much as you add less than 30 lbs to the front of the car. Also it is mounted quite low in the car to maintain the center of gravity, but there is still room to work (more than a 20b an really not much less than a 13b with turbos.

You want to swap out the VG30DETT in the 300zx for an SR20DETT? And I dont know why theres an extra "T" in that engine code.

i guess he made a mistake, but its not a bad idea, nguyen at autodream swapped a SR20det into his 300zx, and he ran faster then a 300zxTT, and also in japan, with the supra, they swap the 2jz-gte motor for a 3s-gte, its not a dumb thing to do

it is considering the amount of work it takes, it is WAY easier to make more power off the 2jz or vg then to swap in a 4 cyl, not to mention you can make more power on pump gas with the larger displacement.

corvette any time, any track, any turn, any day

supra or corvette. i use to have a 1993 (4 generation) supra non turbo only had it for a month and it was amazing and very reliable. this was back in jan 2001, before 9/11 it was a florida car.

anyway yeah read that road and track article from 1993 it will give u a good idea.

[1badPT]

you had it for a month and it was very reliable?? how the hell do you come to that conclusion after a month?? I'm not saying they're not reliable, it just seems funny to me that you'd draw that conclusion after owning the vehicle for such little time - reliability has more to do with the long term.

[CSMRX7]

I took the RX7 out for a little spin again tonight, and it reconfrimed its greatness. It felt so amaizing the feel was amaizing. I forget that in the winter, but to be honest the only other car in the group that has that kind of feel is the NSX and it is $$$ (sidenot: Viper not included I can not judge the new viper as I haven't driven it)!!!

well i know what you mean, its just a toyota is known for reliablity, at that time i already had 92 for 3 years. it was just as reliable. thats all iam saying. a jdm engine turbo 7mgte costs about 1000, when i needed an engine for a 1994 nissian 300zx non turbo, i found one at the time (2002) there were 3000 dollars.

i am not being bias or anything. on a corvette i like them because they are quality made. with a lot of power.
