Actually nevermind, I had a look at the pics then noticed it was a 92.

Still a nice car for a replica SP

You wont get a real one for under 90k now, last one I herd of changing hands that I did a report on for the buyer went for just under this money

BACK ON TOPIC!

Here is the 3 rd gear acceleration of the stock RX7 SP, tested by Motor Magazine with Correvit digital timing.

RX7SP stock 1995 test
204kw
276bhp claimed power factory rated engine (100% stock std no mods at all)

100kmh = 0 sec
110kmh = 0.87 sec
120kmh = 1.83 sec
130kmh = 2.84 sec
140kmh = 4.58 sec

RICESP
You guess the power

100kmh = 0 sec
110kmh = 0.51 sec
120kmh = 0.99 sec
130kmh = 1.51 sec
140kmh = 2.01 sec

I just found 2 original issues of Wheels Magazine from 1996 where they do a Top Speed shootout of Australia's Fastest Cars. They are on their way to me when I get them will scan the full article and put it up.

Features my two fav cars of all time Mazda RX7SP and the Ferrari F40 and a whole heap of other vastly inferior cars They also feature acceleration tests too and I will post up some more comparisons

the F40 (in my opinion) is arguably the greatest supercar of all time, and my third favorite Ferrari.

Agreed, I grew up idolizing that car my next fav was the Mazda RX7SP (IMHO it has F40 ques all over it!) Rear wing, slats, vents, Carbon in body work, turbocharged, very similar 4 stroke equivalent engine capacity, Kevlar seats, close to same weight, same power potential (when RX7 is developed properly) etc etc etc.......... and similar roots, specials made for racing.

My main goal in doing my own version of the SP concept was to equal the Ferrari F40 (< the best car ever made).

I'll put up the full test information on the Ferrari F40, the RX7SP, and RICESP and scan the article for you

p.s. Never ever thought I would own a SP with only 25 genuine versions made (this is why I never bought a copy of the magazines when they were out, did not want to depress myself !), they are rare compared to over 1300+ F40's made lol
