its funny how this same topic is in every car forum.
i love my rx7 with ls1. it has better weight distribution than my friends stock rx7 but weighs only 15 lbs more (it would been more but i removed ac and ps and abs - although abs is back in now). i autocross a lot, and i beat every rx7 fd that has been there. my friend races his stock fd with scca at the nationals, and i beat him. and he loves my car, as do all the rotary guys that i give a ride too. so it handles insane and is fast as hell too.
