Limit Pushing - 1983 Mazda Rx7 Top Speed Test

1983 Mazda Rx7 GSL Top Speed Test (113 MPH) (Older Engine)

The Mazda RX-7: The RX-7 was produced by Mazda from 1978 to 2002. The original RX-7 featured a 1.1 L twin-rotor Wankel engine in a RWD layout. The RX-7's compact and light-weight Wankel engine or rotary engine is placed right behind the front axle which was therefore marketed by Mazda as a "front mid-engine" car. The RX-7 was made to be a replacement for the RX-3 but it eventually replaced all other Mazda rotary cars with the exception of the Cosmo. The handling and acceleration of the car were excellent for the day. This generation RX-7 had "live axle" 4-link rear suspension, and a 50/50 weight ratio weighing just under 2500 lb making it the lightest generation of RX-7 ever produced. The 12A engine produced 100 hp, taking the car up to 120 mph and accelerating from 0--60 mph in 9.2 seconds. Because of the smoothness from the Wankel engine, little vibration was experienced at high revs, so a buzzer was fitted to the tachometer to warn drivers of the approaching redline. Options as well as models varied from country to country. The gauge layout and interior styling in the third series was only changed for North American versions. North America was also the only market to offer the first generation RX-7 with the fuel injected 13B GSL-SE. A turbocharged 12A engine was available for the top-end model of Series 3 in Japan.

not bad. what was the beeping tho?

[LimitPushing]

He beeping was our radar detector going off because of some cell phone signal. We never do vids without one.

Even my 1985 300ZX 2+2 NA 5 spd is faster than that Rotary. At least can go 128 mph. Not bad for my 85.

@Whoelsewoulddie4u so you hit 5th gear at 120mph and it tops out 130mph? I hit 5th gear @ 120mph in my 93 FD3s Rx7...

@MeanAsFuck928 If the 928 refers to a Porsche, you dropped an s from your youtube handle. Meanassfuck. The four and sixes are true Porches - not their attempt to impress the stupid American market.

[Whoelsewoulddie4u]

In fact I'm shifting out of 4th into 5th at 120mph.

[Whoelsewoulddie4u]

This is bs my stock 80' rx with the 12a goes faster than 114 mph.
