Mazda RX-7 (FC) 2.4 147

The Mazda RX-7 (FC) 2.4 147 reaches 60 mph in 7.89 s (100 km/h in 8.84 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.36 s, tripping the lights at 86.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s and the eighth mile in 10.69 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the RX-7 (FC) 2.4 147

The 1985 Mazda RX-7 (FC) 2.4 147 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,223 kg with 145 bhp, which works out at 118 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 118 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.80 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,291st quickest to 60 mph, and the 55th quickest of the 201 Mazdas here. Its 86.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Mazda RX-7 (FC) 2.4 147 0-60 time?
The Mazda RX-7 (FC) 2.4 147 reaches 60 mph in 7.89 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,291st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mazda RX-7 (FC) 2.4 147 quarter mile time?
16.36 s at 86.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.69 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mazda RX-7 (FC) 2.4 147 have?
145 bhp and 1,223 kg, which is 118 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 209 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mazda RX-7 (FC) 2.4 147?
Closest here on pace: Lancia Kappa Coupe 2.4 175 (7.92 s), Volvo C70 Coupe 2.0 T 163 (7.97 s), Honda Civic Coupe 1.6i 125 (7.91 s). Each one can be raced against the Mazda RX-7 (FC) 2.4 147 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mazda RX-7 (FC) 2.4 147 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
