Mazda RX7 and Z06

[tjw760]

If I had a 7 that could run with a vette that puts down 500 at the wheels I would be happy.

[XR4turbo]

I'll take the RX7...not so much because it has any sort of advantage in track superiority...but just because it looks better, sounds better (to me) and has a waaaay nicer interior :)

[lorddesmordes]

lol these comments are funny. but really, this track was pretty easy on the corners, i don't see why people can't admit it. vettes are awsome rx7s are too

[xero890]

It's great to see a Vette being used for more than straight line racing. People often think American cars are all for drag racing, but there is so much more than just going straight!

[nepopolus]

leaf springs......go corvettes, lol fan boy look who is talking.

[01Z06guy]

I acurately described the video and said both are great track cars because they are. You clearly didn't like what you saw so you felt the need to say something super ghey like, "basically a drag corse, no wonder the vete is winning get a tighter track theat vette would get raped" Which is complete BS. That makes you the looser fan boy because you couldn't just enjoy the video because you didn't like the results.

[nepopolus]

lol basically a drag corse, no wonder the vete is winning get a tighter track theat vette would get raped.

[01Z06guy]

You stupid peice of shit. The cars were even in the striaghts AND CORNERS. A drag course? You retarded fan boys have to stoop to making up terms just to see what you want to see from a video. You should have though, "huh, a Z06 can corner just as fast as a race RX-7. I guess my Japanese superiority bais might be wrong." Instead you though, "Uhhh... that's impossible. It must be a bunch of drag strips lined up because it's impossible for an American car to corner with the best from Japan"

[torres3800]

I couldn't have said it better myself.... Highschool kids are so hard to teach these days with abercrombie & fitch and movies like fast and the furious around........

[lorddesmordes]

you forget 38,000 rx7 vs. 70,000 zo6. best of 90's japan against modern american supercar lol. im in college, and i guess some people are hard to teach with nascar around lol.

[01Z06guy]

"38,000 rx7 vs. 70,000 zo6"

Whoops! Your ignorance is showing! C5Z06's sold for $48,500- $52,000 depending on year. And if you want to talk about original price, then we should compare original performance. And in that case, there is no comparison. C5Z06 blows the RX7 into the weeds by a huge margin.

[lorddesmordes]

yes, you are right the price was wrong, but you just stated my point in the previous post, you have an american supercar vs. an rx7. and that track doesn't have many turns im not saying which car will win dummy im agreeing with that other guy that this track wasn't a track with alot of corners so you can't say the zo6 can handle corners as good as the rx7 unless you actually see it.

[01Z06guy]

"you have an american supercar vs. an rx7"

Thanks for the compliment, but it's wrong. The Z06 is not a supercar. It's just a high performance assembly line sports car. It's not rare, it's not hand made, and it's not expensive. So it ain't a supercar. You have a one sports car vs another sports car. Nothing super about either of them.

[01Z06guy]

"some people are hard to teach with nascar around"

I have many videos of myself racing on different roadcourses. You have a video of something broken on your old POS. So what would you know about what roadcourses are like anyway? It's not like you've even been on one. Some kids are hard to teach with Fast and Furious movies around lol.

[lorddesmordes]

and this makes you an expert on whether or not this zo6 would beat this rx7 on a track with more turns?

[amahonda99]

Neither of you know anything about these 2 cars, pertaining to performance modifications. could be factory suspension vs tuned coil overs, you just don't know. It appears the RX-7 in the video has the advantage in the braking department.

You guys are both retarded, and know very little about grand touring cars. sorry.

And for the record, that is a very technical track, there are plenty of turns, just because it doesn't look like the little autocross track you ran at down at your local mall.

[lorddesmordes]

LOL race rx7 eh? i wouldn't consider it more of a race car than the zo6, as a matter of fact it sounds like a 2 rotor with a bigger turbo and not even ported. and the track wasn't that curvy so most the stuff you said is BS, so you have no more credibility than the other guy.

[01Z06guy]

"the track wasn't that curvy"

What an idiotic excuse. The two cars were equal in the straights and the corners so how "curvy" the track was made no difference. Beside that, it's just about as "curvy" as most other roadcourses. Horribly WEAK excuse.

[lorddesmordes]

you insist that i think the rx7 will win which isn't true and makes it obvious that you are bias, what you need to realize is that i was agreeing that there wasn't alot of turns here. what im thinking is this "what if the track had more tighter turns, would it still be a equal race". so whether its a road course or race track or whatever doesn't matter its all "what if"

[01Z06guy]

"i was agreeing that there wasn't alot of turns here."

Yeah, you were agreeing with nonsense.  Good job. In this video, the driver spends 45 seconds going straight and 61 seconds cornering. He's cornering a lot more than he's going straight.

[lorddesmordes]

my bad, not "race ported" like a bridgy but probably has a streetport

[01Z06guy]

Nice video!

[s13sr20det]

good video.

[semperdrift]

> Good race, eventually closed the gap closer and closer considering how far the 7 started out at the beginning of the video.

[01Z06guy]

The gap only really closed when the Z06 had to slow down for traffic. The two were pretty much dead even on the striaghts and the corners. Both are great track cars.

[keithdustin]

the corvette has around 400hp stock. Assuming this vette was stock, and if the rx-7 was built right, the rx-7 would have smoked him. But thats not the way it went. But i have to say both were good drivers. Good Vid.

[iwatchsouthpark12]

depends on how they're tuned -_-

[kaminoca]

corvette are alot better than turbo rx7

[kaminoca]

mazda rx7 are good but not has good corvette

[tomperanteau]

Oh, he could have passed the vette if the vette would have quit getting squirly in the corners.

[envy2245]

wa this sucks corvete smoked im

[ONYXS13]

It's just good to see a 1.3 litre keeping up with a 6+ litre monster..

[JustinStrife]

Actually that's a 5.7litre monster...

the 6+ litres didn't show up until the C6 in 2005. Unless you go back 30 years...

Still good run.

[ONYXS13]

=P ... Indeed.

[teamtoken]

ooooo cant catch it, go the vettes!

good vid though, rx7 sounded neat
