I'd suggest looking further into RX-7s. Better performance then an Mk3 Supra in all aspects. You can get them cheap and the 13B really isn't that bad. Its true that they are much more fragile then a piston engine, but only the turbo rotaries, an NA 13B is practically indestructable. If it blows, you can get a good JDM engine for $1000 at most, or rebuild your yourself (not expensive). As for gas milage, you drive a 450hp+ Mustang so I'm sure the 25mpg that my RX-7 gets isn't that bad.
An turbo RX-7 will only ever be as good as the guy tuning it. If you don't advance the timing 50 degrees and up the boost 10 psi you'll be fine.

So it is better for the racefeeling but not for the overall driving. Now I get it.
What have you done to the motor to have 307 hp ? As far as I know they deliver 200 hp when shipped from Germany.

Thanks man, It goes pretty good. Run's mid 12's at full weight. Well it has a JDM Front end on it so not FULL weight but close enough.
Next year If I can drive it right, it should be in the mid to high 11's.
Though the car is mainly set up for the roadcourse will be running time attacks next year in solo 1/solo sprints
