Shame we couldn't the Nissan Silvia

I quite fancy moving to New Zealand, and I'd like an RX7!

they are in Japan mate ;)

 

quick FD though :D

Awesome cars the RX7........ love the sound. 650hp on 18psi too :eek: :bow:

pretty quick,never liked the rx7,they sound like hoovers and are a girly car imo

Ours certainly does NOT sound like a hoover. I has a wonderful deep throaty sound to it. It'll be at Rotorstock if you'd like to hear it.

I love them. Faster round a track than a Zed and more performance orientated. If a zed as modded as mine didn't come up so cheap I would've had one. Just didn't want to spend the money and still have to think about re-building the engine at 60k. It was a close call but the zed was such a good one and the rx7 was an unknown quantity and more expensive.

faster round a track than the 2+2 targa top maybe,but the swb slicktop would leave the rx for dead ;)

Hmm that'll be why when they were racing the zed in america they changed to the Lwb then and started winning everything? Right back at ya!

 

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying I prefer the rx7, just that I'd love to have one. I really wish you could see zed competing with gtr's and rx7's on the track battles in Japan but it doesn't seem to happen (nor supras). I guess supras and zeds are a different beast. One of the reasons I bought the zed was because I was driving very long distances so I wanted a performance car that wouldn't snap my spine spending 5 hrs on the motorway. The zed definately excels at this, and goes so fast so easily.

snappy comeback ;) and im shocked to hear this,but in road trim the swb slicktop from 1st hand experience outbrakes,corners faster and can pull out the corner far quicker than an rx7,it's funny everyone praises the rx7,but from driving many of them the reality is far from the dream in my opinion,and i'd go as far to say i'd rather stick needles in my eyes rather than own one :x:

 

there you go you made me slate a car(which i hate doing :rant: )lol

 

Paul

royal :rant: i just spent ages typing to find you had edited :headvswal lol

 

if people like them then fair do's i just dont like the rep they have from joe bloggs in the street as alway being the better car than the 300

 

Paul

pm'd you back bud! Didn't realise we'd hijacked the thread!! I'd never swap my zed for an rx7 but one would look nice next to the Zed! Anyhows nice vid lets drift!

yup,nice vid,i'll get my coat ;)

 

Paul

sounded shite though,,,quick car all the same

Thats okay Guys. :D

 

I already have an modifed RX7 on the driveway and hopefully but July he'll be joined by a Zed. Then the fun will realy begin. :hyper: :hyper:

I like your driveway!

errr, i'm not so sure about that.

 

RX7=250hp & 1250kg (from memory) = 200hp/ton

 

Zed=280hp & 1550kg.................... = 180hp/ton

 

They are far more performance orientated than the zed. I like them.

 

But as Dave (royal) says, the zed is a fantastic cross continent car. I found that out when i drove from Le Mans to Halesowen (500 miles) non stop (apart from ferry lol) in one day. 12 hours later i was still feeling good.

 

Top cars, both of them.

And so say I. Ours is a convertable lots of wind noise when top down but well worth it.

....Ok so 1490kg

 

Zed=280hp & 1490kg.................... = 187.91946308724832214765100671141hp/ton

 

As Colin Chapman (Lotus) once said: "For speed, add lightness"

 

And second gen RX7 is the one to have, with 13B engine.... 250hp from a 1.3. awesome :D

ok dunk,i'm going to really split hairs here and say the slicktop is 1360kg :D

 

and i in my opinion it takes more than a power to weight ratio to make a good car,or we would all be getting beat by 16v nova's ;)

 

Paul

what exactly does your opinion have to do with the laws of physics? bhp/tonne will make you accelerate quick, big bhp will make you go really fast.

the law of physics very much apply, if you gave a nova 300hp it would, on paper, destroy the zed... the problem lies in tryin to get the power down in a 300hp car that barely weighs a tonne!

Where did you get that weight from? I've looked for ages and keep going round in circles.

 

Zed = 280hp & 1360kg = 205hp/Ton it's 5hp/ton better than the RX7. But the RX7 will still brake later and corner faster :smw: :mac1: and fun is NOT all in a straight line ;)

 

I agree with your above statement, but as i said earlier weight is the killer for the Z32. I had a 200sx S13 before the zed and that is bang on the same weight as the RX7. When I switched to the zed wow, you could feel the extra 300kg (mines a 2+2). Much more noticible in fast, tight, direction changes, but the zed excels in high speed >120mph cornering. Absolutely rock steady once you get it in ;)

 

as for FWD...........ewwww forgive me for i have sinned, i'm driving round in a Ford Cougar at the mo because my car has been paintstrippered.

dunk,i too was an s13 driver,and you should really get a shot of a swb slicktop,its like an s13 with a 3.0 twin turbo,you really feel like your in a small car,dave g,andyz and mike feeney have all comented on how much more nimble they are,as for the weight figure,i hunted for ages and ended up getting the figure from mike feeney,i wasted my time defending the zed in this thread anyway as it turns out its the gen 2 rx7 lets drift has,not the ugly curvy one(imo before it all starts again)lol

 

i too have sinned and had many 205gti's :x:

Quite right about "Fun is not all in a straight line" No one appears to be able to keep up with our 7 around the bends. :hyper: :hyper:
