Rx 7 series 8 vs gtr

[Amir]

Ive been wanting a R33 OR R34 GTR for some time since I sold the gts25t.

Then came across the RX7 series 8. Has anyone compared the 2 cars. Not fussed about fuel economy, more so the difference in power delivery, driving pleasure and handling.

Im aware the gtr is more powerful, but in the real world is it actually faster?

Anyone had any first hand experience with problems with the rotary engine?

Im really undecided any help appreciated.

Cheers

chicks dig rx7s more.

men dig gtrs more.

I dont care about using my car to impress the ladies, so thats why i'd choose the gtr. Plus its a nissan.

Drive them both first. Personally i'd prefer the RX7, they are said to be absolutely addictive. Plus it'd be a more practical daily driver(more luxuries etc) and would be just as quick as a GTR in everything except 1/4 mile sprints(and how often do you do that anyway?).

Depends on the level of modifications..

I believe the S8 has the oil problems sorted with the TT setup by then.

If you're looking at limited modifications, they're both going to be very reliable.

I've had a big hp 13BT before and they're definately a good thing, just need to look after it very closely. Im still a nissan man tho, which is why I still drive a GTR

If you are serious about your track performance, I'd go the RX7

lucky your not fussy bout fuel economy coz the RX7 drinks like a camel

anyone actually driven the rx7 and a 33 or 34 gtr??

[pentae]

I havent driven an rx7, only the gtrs. I have only ever been in the passenger side of an rx7.

Go teh gtr.

by that logic a boat ankor 5.0ltre v8 would make an rb26dett look like a wuss engine

I sense a potential shitfight. Fantastic.

[sewid]

Gtr.

S8 was fantastic to drive, but the gtr was even more fantastic.

gtr seemed to have more wow factor, plus the boot is slightly bigger.

i would like to own both tho...Gtr first

Yes all of the above, and my above comments still apply

Damn right. :Pimp:

Oh yeah, Unless you're going R34 GT-R (And a good example at that) Go Series 8 RX-7. They're a real drivers car.

You're obviously a bright spark

[Kaido_RR]

Any statistical data to back this up?

[RTFGTR]

a rb26de is a wuss engine..

:cuss: What engine is better? (Nissan)

What do you get around in?

R - U :confused: with another engine?

I would go the R34, simply for the extra interior room. The FD is tiny inside.

My head touches the roof and I am not that tall!

I could never drive it with a helmet and that means no track days which means arrrrghhh!
