slow rx7

I have a 91 rx7 and as for all i know its the slowest car ever. It more or less gos 0-60 in about 13 seconds. Is it because its automatic? But still it has no low end power what so ever. Do you guys think i should just sell it and get a manual one? Oh yeah I have intake, exhaust, and headers.

I say sell and either upgrade to a TurboII or possibly look at a MkIII supra. I got fed up with my N/A and am building a nice TII. Even with intake, exhaust and headers, you'll find yourself wanting more. (like most people). That's my advice.

Or you can convert it to a 5 speed and you'll feel like you just bought a new car!

Sounds like you have a mechanical problem. I have an 1990 NA vert with automatic. No enhancements at all (bone stock), and I run about 10 second 0-60.
I think crionics is on to something.,
