Default 944 vs RX 7

Back in the Day, Motorweek gave a slight edge to the Mazda. Fast forward to 2016 and where would the award for the better sports car land? Where is the RX7 now when it comes to track presence? Compare that to the Porsche 944 showing fields of up to 60 cars some 30 years later in the 944 Cup. The Porsche proves its might in the end

Ha ha....., yes, the take from the video is, owners of the rx7 can pride themselves in the fact that they spent $5000 less for similar performance.

In the day....on new but pretty good era suspension, the 944 managed 1.47.xx.

Today, 400 lbs lighter race trim with similar suspension (limited bySP1 rules) and better tires, although the same power (again - rule controlled), the SP1 lap record is 20 seconds faster than the stock car...
