Which domestic would give an RX7 Turbo and a Supra Turbo a good run for their money. Im talking stock for stock. Im thinking either a Camaro SS or a Trans Am WS6.

Viper, corvette, Camero, firebird, mustang... although the last 3 might have some trouble in the corners.

Skoorb hit the nail on the head, the V8 "muscle cars" from America will do the trick, especially the LS1's

Depending on the boost that the RX7 was running, a SS or Vette would be a good match. It would have to be heavily modded to compete with a Viper, Z06 or anything of that nature.

Yeah, the RX7 isn't very potent in stock form unfortunately. Now the turbo Supra is a beast, can run with the best of domestics, save the Vette/Viper

I think the Supra TT might be the new Mustang GT's? Have they even cracked the 13's yet?

Supra is faster then RX7...faster than Mustang, Camaro SS, WS6 TA.... slower than Vette..

Vette would take em all... Viper takes Vette...

I have a 99 Mustang GT and went nose to nose with a RX7 Turbo one day....We were about dead even to 80 mph then he backed off... A Camaro started pulling away from me at about the same speed one day... Think my shorter gears helped me keep up for about 1/4 mile...then the 60+HP advantage took over...

Remember most of these cars are limited by traction, horsepower at the rear wheels differs due to differences in powertrains, tires make a big difference...and the biggest is probably the driver... They are all fast...


My approximations of 0-60 times are:

Viper 4.3
Vette 4.5
Supra Turbo 5.1
Mustang Cobra 5.2 (with a full 320 HP output)
Camaro SS/WS6 TA 5.2
Camaro / TA 5.3
Mustang GT 5.4
Mazda RX7 5.4
