    Well, let's see now, that's a 2-part answer --

    a) Every day
    b) Any day it runs in a parade with 150+ other rice-a-ronis.

    That Grand Marquis absorbed most of the hit. The RX7 held up pretty well for taking on a large car.

    That gen RX-7 is one of the best sports cars ever produced by any marquee...it'll run with the big dogs any day.

    Shame what happened to such a beautiful car.

    The racists in here that scream 'ricer' simply because a car is from japan are simply ignorant. Theres nothing 'ricer' about that vehicle.

    It's may not be funny and I hope everyone was okay, but it is still rice. No matter how you slice it or how nice it looks, it is what it is......and stock for stock will not touch a big dog.

    I believe one of those was a key car in the first Fast n Furiuos movies. ;)

    I'm definately not ignorant, my bro grew up on rice and I grew up on performance, could his SRT4 hang with a few vettes, maybe.....after he put $11,000 into the engine, suspension and all. However, he seemed to be able to beat every Vette he came accross, but for some reason couldn NEVER beat mine.....I could never figure out why that was?? :)

    Im obviously exagerating but the fact that anyone would call a car a 'ricer' simply because its built in japan is ignorant and ridiculous.

    A 'ricer' is commonly known to be a japanese car that is tricked out with over the top body panels and graphics usually accompanied by a huge exhaust that sounds like a vacuum. Its a derogatory comment and IMHO shouldnt be used simply because a car is japanese.

    An RX-7 is an amazing car..and yes ( to Joshvette) it will run with the big dogs completely stock if you compare the same year vehicles. Obviously a 10 year old stock RX-7 is not going to keep up with a current model.

    It did look to me like he had white rims and a white front lip on the nose? I couldn't tell about the exhaust, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to find a fart can on it.

    Don't get me wrong, it looked nicer then most of the rice that passed by. Maybe rice should have catagories, like "rich pro tuned rice", and "poor home made diy rice" and something inbetween like "I can only afford rims and an ugly tale rice" and then there's always the "I sprayed my rims black to make the car faster rice".....oh and lets not forget the "I rev my engine and fart can at all the cars that have engines alone with more then my entire car rice".

    Okay, so take a 97 RX7 and put it up against a 97 Corvette or 97 Viper or a 97 355....what else would you consider a big dog? Should I pull up the stats or will you do it? I bet it's not going to hang? 0-60? 1/4? mile around a track?

    I'll be back with stats.....

    "Do you know what you've wrecked here"..........LOL !!! Asshat extraordinaire.

    I think that this video should be called "Revenge of the Landau roof".......which the Marquis has. Kinda fits....don't you think ?

    Alright I'm back with facts. 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.

    Got most of it off this website here.
    http://www.***************.com/forum/asian-cars/30595-all-cars-all-years-0-60-1-4mile-time.html

    But had to look up the 97 model RX7 cause I could only find stats for 95 models.

    Best I could find for all these cars are as follows.

    Big Dawgs :)

    1997 Chevy Corvette
    0-60 4.7
    1/4 mile 13.3

    1997 Dodge Viper GTS
    0-60 4.0
    1/4 mile 12.2

    1997 Ferrari 355
    0-60 4.8
    1/4 mile 13.2

    Rice a roni ;)

    1995 RX-7
    0-60 5.9 (tt set up was 5.0)
    1/4 mile 14.0 (tt)

    To give you guys an idea of distance at 60mph .25 seconds is appoximately 66 feet or 6 car lenghts. :)

    You can't even guess how far ahead a car will be based on 0-60 times alone. The distance in front would be based on too many variables. Driver, gears, torque/power curves. You can't be ignorant to the fact that RX-7's were not "Big Dogs" Yet they are pretty damn close, regardless of how you slice it. The fact that a company can put out a car from a very shady area of automotive engineering to be even as close as it was is remarkable. Who else uses a rotary engine? Those cars are unique.

    Painted wheels and so forth don't make the car rice. And just because wheels on an import are painted you can't assume that they only spray painted them, and threw on a fart can. Believe it or not, it is possible to amp up the performance on any car. It's not like they are throwing an unpainted body kit onto a Civic. The RX-7 was made to be better than that. And claiming that anyone who mods a Japanese car is a Ricer is ridiculous. What about Subaru WRX's? They aren't Japanese, yet they often get the same title of rice. Why then are no Japanese cars excused from that title?

    I'm sick of people who are ignorant of the purpose of vehicles. RX-7's were meant to be the best performer in it's price range. So good in fact that it could hang with Ferrari's, Vette's etc. Would you call either of those rice if they were modded? That's what I thought.

    I drive a Mustang GT, so don't try to claim I'm just a *****in' ricer. I don't understand how this is funny though.

    Umm according to those figures the TT RX-7 IS running with the big dogs. perhaps you;re one of those guys that nitpicks a couple tenths of a second and says one car walked the other because of it.

    In my opinion a 1995 TT RX-7 running a 5 sec 0-60 and a 14 qtr is running with the big dogs. OF COURSE there are faster cars.

    FYI I have a viper so Im well aware of what a big dog runs and the RX-7 is an amazing performer.

    The late model RX-7's where pretty decent performers for its days but if your going to say it runs with the big dogs we might as well throw in the 300ZX, Supra, 3000GT VR4/Stealth in that mix that josh vette mentioned.

    I agree but I wouldn't say racists but arogant is more of the real term. That guy in the crown vic would have had a talk with my shotgun if something like was to happen. Who could blame the guy for droping Fbombs left and right I would be POed two if that was my car and on top of that the guy didn't even have nothing to say.
