Got my '74 Pinto wagon up to 95 going downhill on I-77 one night in 1978

Coming back from Bluefield WVA. I think the name of the bar was The Briar??? Scared the crap out of my roommate when he woke up to me screaming as I came up on a Semi being towed backwards. I think we were coming down Big Walker Mountain. It's all blur now. As it probably was then too.

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.

Mazda did sell a RX-7 Turbo.
