RX-7 question

[rampridersrider]

I was just wondering this, but how would a 2G N/T Eclipse hold up against a mid 80's RX-7?
I am not planning on racing one, but there are a few around here and the thought just crossed my mind. The RX7 only has 160 hp I presume and hella low torque. I've read a few reviews on them and most said that there is nothing in the low end. 9 second 0-60 time from them (roughly I imagine). Assuming that both have good drivers and both are manuals.

Depends if it's a turbo II model or a n/a 13B. The turbo would take that ass. Handling wise too, nice to have 50/50 weight distribution.

like the previous post said, if it's a turbo II, you in trouble if it's a n/a you should be able to beat it....definately off the line. Don't expect this post to be up for long considering that benchracing is against the rules
