My 1986 RX-7…many times over 100.

Probably the fastest was 110-115mph in 1986 heading down the western slope of North Mtn on I64 between Lexington and Covington with no one else on the road.

The rotary engine was not even working hard. Could have gone much faster.

With the turbo? Seemed like it had more acceleration starting up around
reconhokie • 04/17/22 02:29 PM ET
No turbo. I don't think the RX-7 was offered with a turbo.
HokiesChemicals • 04/17/22 02:42 PM ET
Always had a turbo with 3 gens of RX-7s. I had an 87, 91 and later a 95. Gr
reconhokie • 04/18/22 12:29 AM ET
Nice! I loved the body style of the final Rx-7 generation.
