yeah the fc i believe is actually lighter than the 240 and it comes with more horsepower stock...plus storage compartments in the back...what? funny story about those. my friends rx-7 savanna has wierd storage compartments behind his seats. no idea why. but they're there.

-thank you for correcting me about the 12 valve. i thought all s13 were 16 valve but the sohc to dohc just changed after 90.

I've heard some people say its a drivers race. But for the most part, I dont care for bench racing, go out and find out at the track.

In perfect stock form, RX-7. However these cars are pushing 14-15 years and that is alot of time for different maintenance habits to build up and change things.

The FD never came in n/a, only the FC...

yeah everything is a drivers race though but putting that aside. the 240 is like a body roll king.

rx7 would eat it alive autox/circuit/drag/ if both 240 and rx7 are in good condition.

Of course its according to the driver's ability... and course setup.

Oh, drag racing? Why bother...
