Low 13 Second 1/4 Mile Runs With My Turbo-NA Bridgeport RX-7

Five mid to low 13 quarter mile runs from the track a few weeks ago. The challange remains to be getting traction on an open diff and street tires. The car is a 1986 RX-7 with a 6 port turbo engine...

Lazy shifting. 2nd gear on FCs is always a bit weird. The syncros wear out fast and even when they are in good shape, the shift is not always great.

Dude... nice car... I like those old RX7's. Should be excellent when you get an LSD... Times will be easily 12's. But seriously, that tyre spin you can "hear" when you changed into 4th was not your car, it's the next car in line doing a pretty lame burnout attempt. In the last run, you hear what sounds like clutch slip into 4th, which you have pointed out is traction loss, but no audible squeal.

What do you mean by TURBO-NA??? Isn't "NA" Naturally Aspirated, which of course a Turbo isn't NA?

As I was in the car, I watched the tach shoot towards redline when the passenger side tire let loose. Unfortunately with the poor quality of the video you can't see the wisp of smoke from the rear tires. The noise of my engine was drowned out by the guy doing the burnout. Don't worry about the clutch slipping because it was not. It's a copper 6 puck with an upgraded pressure plate. By "turbo NA" I mean an NA engine with a turbo added, as opposed to a TII swap.

sounds like your clutch is slipping going into 4th on that last run, cake.

That would be the open diff letting go. On the street it's a tire fire through 1st and 2nd, the traction in 3rd, then tire fire in 4th. :-)
